On February 13th, the 7th edition of World Radio Day was observed around the world; a  significant annual occasion that celebrates radio as a medium through which the masses are educated, and also as a tool that promotes freedom of expression across cultures. 

With the theme of ‘Radio and Sports’, the 2018 fête aimed to emphasise the inseparable relationship between sports and gender. Therefore in this episode of My China Story, Nillah Nyakoa sought to speak with American national and sports fanatic Alicia McSweeny, to get her views on the critical gender equality concerns in sports- the struggles facing female athletes like herself and just her overall experience as a female athlete growing up.
