This is an episode of #WomenSportsDev, our ongoing series hosted by one of Africa's leading sports broadcasters, Shon Osimbo, which features insightful conversations with leading female sports executives, leaders and stakeholders about the development of women's sport in Africa and globally.
Theresa Zabell is a two-time Spanish Olympic gold medalist sailor and former member of the Spanish Olympic Committee. Theresa is a staunch environmental activist for cleaner seas and oceans and growing sailing as an Olympic sport.
In a wide-ranging interview with Shon Osimbo, Theresa discusses how her love for the Olympic Games developed, winning gold at the Barcelona 92' and Atlanta 96' Olympic Games, advocating for female athletes' maternity and economic rights to the Spanish government, the influences driving the increased visibility and interest in women's sport, how she has managed to balance sport, politics, environmental activism and being a mother throughout her illustrious career, and why she launched her own Foundation which promotes healthy seas and oceans.
