England’s 2009 women’s cricket team have given Dame Kelly Holmes her favourite moments during 25 years of sports coverage on Sky Sports. That England side retained the Womens Ashes against Australia and won both the ICC Womens World Cup and the inaugural ICC Womens World Twenty20.And double Olympic champion Holmes, who was a live guest on Tuesdays Sportswomen show on Sky Sports News HQ, hailed Englands success that year as amazing. She said: The year the England women won the Twenty20, the World cup and the Ashes in the cricket in 2009, I thought that was an amazing achievement really. Holmes won two gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics I think they should have been celebrated far more than they were.It was an amazing achievement. The men have never done that so for me that was a real hats-off moment. Heres a look back at some of the greatest moments in womens sport over the last 25 years. The gender pay gap in sport debate continues to rumble on after members of the US Womens soccer team filed a wage discrimination complaint against their national federation at the end of last month.That came a week after Raymond Moore was forced to step down as tournament director at Indian Wells after saying female tennis players should get down every night on their knees to thank their male counterparts. Alex Morgan (left) and Hope Solo are two of the players that have filed a complaint about pay inequality David Beckham told Sky Sports News HQ he supported Serena Williams stance on equal pay in tennis and Dame Kelly agrees, insisting the women are just as committed to their sport as the men.I think were now in an era where there should be equal pay, she said.Women are putting in as much time, effort and commitment. They are dedicated to their sport and they can only beat the people they are up against. David Beckham has told Sky Sports that women’s tennis players should have pay equality with men They absolutely should get the same pay. I cant really see the rationale for saying no.With tennis the argument is that its best of five sets for men and best of three for women. But if you asked the women if they would rather have best of five or have less pay, what do you think they are going to say?They are going to say best of five. Give them the chance.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Brian Urlacher Bears Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. LONDON -- Whatever controversy is raging in the Olympic world theres one constant: Usain Bolts bravado and self-confidence.Its what is expected from the worlds fastest man and greatest showman.I know the sport needs me to win -- and come out on top, Bolt asserts, assessing the damage caused by the Russian doping scandal that has divided sports leaders.As for his pursuit of a treble Olympic treble next month, Bolt adamantly responds: Im not going to lose one of the golds, for sure.In his last lengthy media appointment before heading to Rio de Janeiro, Bolt spent around two hours over a Jamaican lunch last week in London, discussing his Olympic challenge prospects and the challenges of life.When letting his guard down does Bolt sounded less invincible. Weighing on the Jamaican sprinters mind is the fear of hitting 30 next month, the toll of injuries -- and even being caught up in an extremist attack.It is scary, said Bolt, adopting a rare subdued tone. But if you live scared, you dont live at all. So I try to live my life to the fullest and when its my time, its my time.Bolt recalls being in Munich as news emerged of the truck attack in the French city of Nice on Bastille Day -- July 14 -- that killed 84 people. Munich was itself the scene of bloodshed last week with a teenager shot dead nine people.Bolt usually goes to Munich every three months to visit his doctor, Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.Especially at the start of last year I noticed that injuries take a little bit more time to get back to where you want to be, Bolt said. My coach always tells me that the older you get its going to get harder, and you have to push yourself.But coach Glenn Mills also offered him comforting reassurance Bolt still craves, despite being the 100- and 200-meter world record holder.Bolt remembers Mills telling him dont worry youre a champ at the world championships last year.It was one of the roughest years, Bolt said, explaining how his back issue has really deteriorated over the years.Bolts preparations for the defense of his Olympic titles (100, 200 and 4X100-meter relay) have been far from smooth, with a hamstring injury forcing him out of the Jamaican trials.I always have little doubts in my mind, Bolt said in a restaurant overlooking Londons St. Pauls Cathedral. But Im focused and ready to go.Unlike many of the worlds top golfers, who have snubbed the chance to go to their first Olympics.I guess its not as important to them as it is to us who have been competing over the years, Bolt ssaid.dddddddddddd. It surprised me when I heard that golf was going to be in the Olympics. There are a few sports in the Olympics that make me go `Argh.The Olympics are unquestionably the pinnacle of track and field. But providing the spectacle desired is proving difficult for the men.This year is one of the poorest I have ever seen as an Olympic (field) for men really -- the women have really shown more promise running fast times, Bolt said. (The men) have really unperformed this season, but Im sure when we get to the Olympics it wont be like that.Bolt expects Rio to be his last Olympics, but he still dangles the possibility of a trip to Tokyo.My coach always says `Usain you can always go on to the 2020 Olympics if you want, Bolt said. So this is why he tells me to stop talking about retirement and just take it a year at a time.The power of athletics in attracting big audiences would be more difficult without its global superstar.People always say to me, `Usain when you leave the sport, the sport is going to go down, Bolt said. But Im not going to look at it like that. There are a lot of athletes stepping up.Plans to overhaul the sport and make it more exciting have been sidetracked by the Russian doping scandal.The vast majority of the Russian athletes who will miss the Rio Games are are in track and field, where 67 of its 68 athletes were ruled out when a ban on the Russian team was upheld at the Court of Arbitration for Sport last week.Sebastian Coe, head of track and fields governing body, has to deal with that.But Coe is also the man tasked with making track and field more exciting, as Bolt explains.Im assuming Seb Coe has a plan, said Bolt, who advocates more street races. Over time with different ideas, and the athletes that are coming up, the sport will stay current. It will take a while but I think it will get back to its former glory when I walk away.Unless he decides to continue, Bolts glory era is due to end after the 2017 world championships in London.He is absolutely certain he will be greatly missed.In football you have the debate who is the best footballer, but no one can debate who the fastest man in the world is, Bolt said. Its going to be a long time, I think, before somebody comes who will be as talented as me to break my records.---Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports ' ' '
