If you've noticed that more and more women are taking part in sports, you're not alone. The Commission on the Future of Women's Sport (UK) released figures this summer which shows surprisingly high levels of interest.
- 50% of those questioned said women's sport is getting more popular (only 36% said the same about men's sport)
- 44% think the quality of women's sport is better than ten years ago
- 54% think watching women play sport is as exciting as men's
- 61% say they would watch more women's sport if it was on the television
You can read the full report
here on the Women Sport and Fitness Foundation website. It goes on to push this growth as an investment opportunity so hopefully, as we lead towards London 2012, business people will take notice. So what about you, what sports would you like to see more of on the TV?
