C Listen to four extracts and match them with the pictures. Extract 1 Voice: The legendary racehorse trainer Ginger McCain knew a fair bit about racing, but his declaration in 2005 that a woman would never win the prestigious Grand National has since been proven wrong. Women jockeys began competing against men in the 1970s, and several have disproven the claim that a woman rider could never succeed in this male-dominated sphere. One jockey who rode out her claim is Rachael Blackmore. This meant she could compete against male jockeys. In 2017, Blackmore became the first female winner of the Conditional Riders’ Championship in Ireland. She has since shown her worth several times, including in 2021 at the Cheltenham Festival, where she became the leading jockey, and at the Grand National, which she won in the same year, becoming the first female to win since the race began 182 years earlier.

Extract 2 Voice: The idea that men and women should compete on a level playing field has been discussed in relation to many sports. In major sports like football and tennis, the physical difference between male and female competitors is usually put forward as a reason for this not being possible. In this sport, however, no such physical difference is in any way relevant and surely there is nothing that should prevent women competing alongside men. It seems strange that most male players are against equality and believe that women should continue to play in their own competitions.


Extract 3 Voice: This is one of the only sports in the US in which men and women can compete at the same level. However, there are currently no women competing at the highest level, despite attempts to diversify this male-dominated sport. The young Arab American driver Toni Breidinger, who is of Lebanese descent, is trying her best to break that mould. In 2021, at 21 years old, she finished 18th in the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona, and set her sights on reaching the highest-level race, the Cup Series. She says that the fact that women and men can compete against each other in the sport is fantastic, but inequality is still present in the lack of sponsorship available to women drivers.
