Twirl question showed we still have problems
Women athletes deserve to be shown more respect, says KADEEM SIMMONDS

Well done to Kelly Smith for taking on sexist Australian interviewer Ian Cohen earlier on this week.

Anyone outraged by Smith’s comment — she said she would have slapped Cohen if he had asked her to twirl — should focus their outrage towards the Australian interviewer.

I don’t believe Williams when she said his comments weren’t sexist because they were. She was right when she said no-one would ask Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer to flex their muscles after a win.
