There is a picture circulating on Facebook of a female Kenyan elite runner giving her bottle of water to a suffering and dehydrated Chinese runner with no lower arms during an unnamed marathon.

I have Facebook to thank for this week’s topic.

These days, there is no shortage of women’s sports on television.

I suppose it does sound strange when you first hear it…spectacles causing neck pain? But it all begins to make sense when one understands how our eye-glasses can affect the neck.

The West Indies, and more specifically, T&T, are powerhouses in T20 cricket for one very large and embarrassing reason.

So another Carnival has come and gone, and in my usual post-Carnival state of mourning, I reflect upon the health-related aspects of the two days of floating and bouncing on the road.

Throughout the ages, women’s participation in vigorous physical activity and sport has always been embroiled in controversy.

While watching the T&T-Guyana T20 match on television last weekend, I felt as if I was viewing a Barcelona- Real Madrid football match.
