Well said! :) Watching Nicola Adams yesterday, it was a joy to see a woman fizzing with power and exuberance, without the slightest thought of 'editing' her external presentation. As you say, we live in a culture that works every manipulation going to make women (even girls) embarrassed to express their natural physical energy. So watching short/tall/squat/slender/gravity-heavy/feather-light/soft/angular - every shape going - women alight with the extraordinary power of what their bodies can DO - not LOOK like - has been an amazing experience. And spectacular to watch.

Also loved the horse dancing!
