Beyond the podium: Women leading sport through law, governance and integrity

To mark International Women’s Day, we are delighted to host a special panel discussion with former elite athletes and Olympians who have transitioned from professional sport into influential careers in sport law, governance, and integrity.

Our speakers will share their personal journeys from competing at the highest level to shaping the future of sport off the field of play. The discussion will explore what inspired them to stay connected to sport, how they navigated career transition, and the leadership roles women can play in building fair, safe, and trusted sporting environments.

The panel will last around 45 minutes, and the session will be followed by some networking time. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Event Date: Monday 16 March 2026

Location: SR offices, St Paul's, London

Moderator:

Sarah Lewis OBE OLY | Chair, GB Olympians Association and former GB Olympic skier

Speakers:

Christine Ohuruogu MBE | Sport Resolutions Panel Member and former Olympic, World, and Commonwealth 400m Champion

Georgie Twigg MBE | Senior Associate, Bird & Bird and Olympic hockey medallist

Gillian Sanders | Integrity Manager, World Sailing and former South African Olympic triathlete
