Women's sports are starting to capture more of the spotlight they deserve! 📺 Between 2019 and 2022, media coverage of women’s sports jumped from 5% to 16%, breaking decades of stagnation. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, gender equality reached new heights, with women making up 50% of the athletes. This surge in visibility, fuelled by streaming and social media, is creating a buzz of excitement and inspiring more participation. But there’s still a long way to go… Kudos to the 9Network’s record-breaking coverage of Australia’s most successful Olympics, reaching 19.5 million viewers! Special shoutout to our Minerva Athletes and legends who brought their expertise and passion to the media commentary teams on 9 and Stan. ⭐️ Cate Campbell ⭐️ Ellie Cole ⭐️ Jenna O’Hea ⭐️ Sera Naiqama ⭐️ Alicia Quirk ⭐️ Elise Kellond-Knight ⭐️ Kerri Pottharst ⭐️ Annie Williams How has this surge in coverage inspired you? Follow along to explore more stories from our incredible Minerva Athletes and Mentors!

The Olympic Games are more than just a competition—they're a global celebration that unites people from all around the world! 🌍✨ We asked some of our Minerva Athletes to describe their Olympic experience in just three words. From the excitement of competing to the friendships formed in the athletes' village, these words capture the essence of what it truly means to be an Olympian. With just two days until the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, the excitement is growing, and we can hardly wait. We’re all feeling the anticipation and counting down the days until we witness the incredible determination and talent the Paralympics bring. The countdown is on! ⏰😆 #OlympicExperience #MinervaAthletes #ThreeWords #Inspiration #BehindTheScenes #TogetherWeSoar #WomenSupportingWomen #WomeninSport

As we reflect on our athletes' incredible achievements, it's just as important to celebrate historic coaching milestones! 🌟 Rebecca Rippon, a dual Olympian and bronze medalist, made history in Paris as the first female Olympic Head Coach of the Aussie Stingers. With over 265 caps for Australia, Rebecca brought unparalleled experience and passion to the team. Her journey from a decorated player to a pioneering coach was truly inspiring to watch 💧. We’re excited to see Rebecca continue supporting the Stingers as they build on their silver-medal legacy just as Minerva is continuing to support all our athletes in sport and beyond the field. 💪🥈 Visit the link in our bio to learn more about the Minerva Athletes on the Australian women's water polo team and how we support them beyond the pool. 🌟 #RebeccaRippon #WomenInSports #Olympics2024 #Paris2024 #TogetherWeSoar
