• Left-back talks of cross-sport solidarity between female athletes • ‘You want to see people succeed … as a woman it is not easy’With a sold-out Wembley helping an outstanding year of women’s sport draw to a close, the
England left-back, Demi Stokes, has spoken of the cross-sport solidarity between female athletes.
“You want to see people succeed and I think as a woman it is not easy,” said Stokes, as the Lionesses prepared to play
Germany in front of a potential 90,000 fans on Saturday. “You have got to balance other things. People want kids, people have kids, so they are balancing all types of things. When you see Jessica Ennis, Dina Asher-Smith or Nicola Adams you think: ‘God, if they can do it then I can.’ You want to see everyone win.”
