having childcare on tour. because they happen any other big companies and we are a big company any way that we are a business and we have to look at and try to get better and that, i feel, that's to look at and try to get better and that, ifeel, that's what to look at and try to get better and that, i feel, that's what i want my legacy anyway to be. i am fighting for women to be more comfortable, to break the stereotypes and to move they do a little forward than when i started. —— to move the needle a little forward and when i started. i think that evolution is going to continue to break the boundaries of the illusion of women in sport. great britain enjoyed their most successful world taekwando championships this week, finishing second in the medal table with three golds. two of those were won by double olympic champion jade jones, who claimed her first world title and bianca walkden, who secured her third successive triumph after a somewhat controversial finish.
