	LUDUS 1: Centre for Research into Sport and Society: University of Leicester
		Of the twenty sportspersons considered in the series, only two were women, namely Mary Rand, who, in 1964, became the first British woman to win an Olympic gold, and Jayne Torvill, being half of the Torvill-Dean partnership who won Olympic gold in ice-dancing in 1984.
		This original list contained relatively few women and, even allowing for the fact that considerably more men than women take part in sport, women were still greatly under-represented on this long-list.
		Significantly, another cyclist, Tommy Simpson, was on the list, even though his record of one world championship and the achievement of being the first Briton to wear the yellow jersey of race leadership in the Tour de France (he eventually finished fifth in the Tour), pales into insignificance by comparison with that of Burton.

		Rajan’s story is representative of the callous attitude of this country’s sporting authorities in looking after the welfare of sports personalities, and the neglect they face at the hands of the very government that may have once lauded their achievements as a symbol of national pride.
		But if only Rajan had received her promised Rs 2.5 lakh during the last five years, her father, a farm hand, might not have had to mortgage his land for a Rs 50,000 bank loan to treat her chronic back ailment; and she might even now be alive.
		So, the next time we feel inclined to lambast our sportspersons for performing miserably, we should ask ourselves instead why we never give them a fighting chance to prove their worth.
