Episode 14: Kay Wilson

Alasdair Hooper and Will Moulton bring you episode 14 of SportSpiel, a podcast full of sporting discussion and feature interviews.

In our first segment we discuss:

• Elise Christie’s deserved Sportswoman of the Year Award (2:16)
• Ellie Downie’s Young Sportswoman of the Year triumph (7:22)
• Hannah Cockroft’s shocking revelations about Para classification tests (9:46)

Our feature interview segment in this episode is with England Rugby star Kay Wilson (25:11).

After announcing her surprise retirement from international rugby earlier in October, the wing tells us why she made her decision. She also looks back on the highlights of her stellar career and takes us through the heartbreak of losing the 2017 World Cup final to New Zealand.
