Olympic medalist Dina Asher-Smith calls for more research into how periods affect athletic performance
CNN
British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith called for more funding to research the impact of periods on athletic performance after she pulled up with cramps, caused by her period, during her 100 meter title defense at the European Championship.
"People don't always talk about it either because you see girls that have been so consistent and there is a random dip," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport.
"Behind the scenes, they have been really struggling, but outwards everybody else is saying, 'What's that? That's random,' so it could just do with more funding.
