This is what women in sport look like - female athletes hit back

Female athletes have spoken out against a controversial sports gambling advert starring actress Sydney Sweeney.

The advert has gone viral online and features American Sweeney naked but covering parts of her body with various pieces of sporting equipment.

It has sparked a strong reaction, with many female athletes criticising its sexualisation of women in sport, and how they are being defined by their appearance rather than their achievements as sportswomen.

Amy Hunt, who became a four-time European champion earlier this summer, referenced the advert after she ran a season's best 22.10 seconds to finish fourth in the 200m final at the Ultimate Championship in Budapest on Sunday.
