Clare Balding Sports Quotations

If you look back at British history, women being allowed to play sport in schools meant they had to change their clothing. They couldn't be running around in their long skirts and corsets, because you can't.

I know sport can change the world, and that matters to me.

I hate the fact that public schools like the one I went to have fantastic sports facilities, and state schools don't. That's not fair. That's outrageous.

Sport develops your brain. It helps your learning. It's not an add-on at the end of the day.

Sports commentating is the answer for a restless brain like mine. I can never get bored because there is an infinite amount to know.

Women's sport helps break down a lot of barriers for women in other areas, whether in religion or politics.
