Busy week this. The IFMA World Championships kick off (sorry) in Uzbekistan with the finals taking place on the 26th and 27th.Women from Germany, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Peru, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, and Iraq competed yesterday - a few surprises there. I remember being told many times that Kazakhstan would never field a woman's team, great to see that changing. Sadly Ireland doesn't have any fighters at all competing this year, thank you recession.

And outside the ring, the highlight for women fighters is the launch of the Female Commission under Kiwi Sue Glassey. President of the Oceania federation and a successful fighter in her day Glassey has been pushing hard for greater prominence for women fighters over the last few months. Looks like it's paying off. There's been so much progress, will be interesting to see how much more can be done.
Some great photos from last year's contest and the Sports Accord on the new IFMA Female Commission here on FB.
Do you think it's more effective to split sports organisations into male and female admin sides?
