EXCLUSIVE: Clare Balding hails 2022 as an 'incredible' year for women's sport on home soil... as the broadcaster labels Lionesses star Beth Mead 'one of the most influential individuals in the UK'

2022 has been a remarkable year for women's sport in the UK. Spearheaded by Sarina Wiegman's heroic Lionesses, it is the year that will be remembered for victories on home soil.

Following England's triumph at Euro 2022, with their victory over Germany in the final played in front of an 87,192 crowd at Wembley and watched by 23.3m on the BBC - the most watched TV programme of the year - attention turned to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

England, Scotland and Wales won a combined 256 medals between them in a pulsating 11 days of action.
