Written By Christopher Gallagher

Isla Short is a professional Cross Country mountain biker from Scotland and has been working hard of many years to reach the top and in 2020 her hard work paid off with a 5th place at the World Championship. In this podcast, Isla discusses with Morgan many of the issues that have been on her mind over the last few years including eating disorders in athletes, female athlete development and representation and the diversity (or rather, lack of it) of the sport of mountain biking.
