KATIE TAYLOR

 

Katie Taylor has a hold over the Irish public’s imagination that shows no sign of diminishing, even rising ten years since her Olympic Gold at London 2012.

The glory of London, the pain of Rio and the success at the professional game have all played their part in keeping her centre stage, though it is a place where she rarely pushes herself towards.

Nevertheless, she was voted in the most recent Onside Sports Track survey as our most popular athlete with her share of the 1,000 person representative vote climbing from 21% to 25% as our ‘Most admired athlete.’

Another night in the ring in December 2021 will hopefully be one step closer to a unification bout with Amanda Serrano and even more affection and inspiration for an Irish public who cannot get enought of KT.

This is the ninth edition of our Sport for Business listing of 50 Women of Influence in Irish Sport.

We are proud to do so this year with a new partner in AIG, an organisation that have pledged their commitment to equality in their partnerships with Gaelic Games, Tennis, Golf and more, for whom “Effort is Equal” and with whom we have ambitious plans to extend the reach of this annual celebration of the Women who are making a difference.

They are drawn as before from the worlds of leadership, partnership, storytelling and performance.

We began this journey in 2013 when challenged that we would never be able to produce a list of twenty Influential Women in Irish Sport. The 20 stretched to 30, then 40 and 50 and it still does not do justice to the talent that is out there.

This year once more, to keep things fresh we will introduce at least 30 per cent of fresh names from last year. That will be the hardest part to have some names replaced but if it was too easy it would be of less value.

The list we will continue to build over the coming weeks is a snapshot of those women who are making a mark on how sport is played, consumed, grown and delivered.

They are part of making the role of women in sport unexceptional by being exceptional in what they do.

Recognition of their contribution is rarely asked for but is fully deserved, and we want your help in identifying those who you feel should be among them.

So, who do you think should be on the list for 2021?
