The UCI have to make the decision to put in rules into women's cycling that they have in men's cycling: you know, like a minimum budget to run a women's team and that sort of thing so that it becomes more professional.

At the end of the day, cycling is a business, so we have to be able to offer something to a sponsor, and without exposure, that's going to be difficult, but that's where the UCI perhaps has to be a little bit stronger.

It has crossed my mind that I would like to run or help to run a pro women's tournament, although I really don't know much about organizing an event (it seems overwhelming actually).

Gender equality cannot be achieved by cutting programs that allow girls to get the same chance to compete, learn, and play. The United States has had a solid history of commitment to its female athletes and expanding opportunity for women, and it is imperative that we continue on this path.

It's all well and good having a women's Tour de France - which I think we need and I think we should have. But I think we should slowly build it in and not just go 'Bam!' with three weeks over the same course and same length of time as the men's.

We want more women players to take up chess. There are few participants at the national level and hope it will grow.

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

I'd love to have a chance to fight in the World Series Boxing for women, but nothing has been done about that.

Training of female athletes is so new that the limits of female possibility are still unknown.

One of the problems in the biotech world is the lack of women in leadership roles, and I'd like to see that change by walking the walk.
