Double world champion rower and Olympic medallist Sarah Winckless has told the Today programme she is "amazed" at the lack of reporting on women's sport.

Two-time Olympic gold-winning athlete Daley Thompson courted controvercy in August when he said heptathlete Katarina Johnson threw "like a girl", sparking an online #LikeAGirl movement in response.

Young girls "don鈥檛 get the opportunities at an early age to become more athletic", Winckless told presenter Sarah Montague. "It can become a barrier鈥� if you don鈥檛 have the belief it鈥檚 possible鈥�.

鈥淚 still open the papers鈥� and am amazed that no female sport happens because it鈥檚 not reported on,鈥� she said.
