The Fastest Man on Three Wheels: Why David Weir should be BBC Sports Personality of the Year

I've written an article for The Student Journals about why David Weir, who won four gold medals at the London Paralympics, should be recognised as BBC Sports Personality of the Year. In what has been a vintage year of British sport, Weir's acheivements stand out. Add to that the public response to the Paralympics, which fulfilled the 'Inspire a Generation' slogan even more so than the Olympics, and it becomes apparent that our Paralympians deserve more recognition at the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony.

Is it right that men and women earn equal prize money in tennis?

Here's my latest article for The Student Journals. It was written during the second week of Wimbledon but has been updated with regard to the completion of the tournament. In the article, I look into the equal prize money debate in tennis, determining whether it is fair and right that women are given the same amount of prize money to men. Please read and enjoy!

Olympic Torch Relay: A Flaming Disappointment?

Right, so first things first, here is my debut article which was written in response to the Olympic Torch Relay. It has been published on The Student Journals, which is a really great site encouraging independent student journalism. Hopefully it will be the first of many articles I write for them! It is certainly a site well worth giving a bookmark.
