As November is coming to an end, I wanted to share some of the most remarkable women in sports this month.
If you were seeking some inspiration, just give me a minute!
These girls are bringing ELITE to another level!
1️⃣ Mikaela Shiffrin
She won the World Cup Slalom in Finland and claimed her 102nd career victory!
In Levi, Finland, she dominated the slalom and claimed her sixth career win on that exact hill, tying the record for the most victories at a single venue.
Her second run was a masterclass: smooth, technical, and confident, the kind of skiing only she can make look effortless.
As Vail Daily put it, she didn’t just win — she reminded the world why she’s still the standard everyone else chases.

2️⃣Femke Kok
In a completely outstanding race, Femke has broken the 500m World Record with a time of 36.09 seconds!
Now of course I would have to mention this historical moment in my sport, speed skating! One that I had the honor to witness in person.
Femke Kok made HISTORY — becoming the first Dutch woman to ever hold the 500m speed skating WORLD RECORD.
Let that sink in: in a country where skating is basically a religion, she just rewrote the record books.
She blasted a 36.09, combining raw power with flawless technique.
It wasn’t just fast — it was a beautiful display of women's strength!
This is more than a record. It’s a legacy moment.

3️⃣Hinata Miyazawa
Hinata Miyazawa put on a masterclass for Japan, delivering one of her cleanest performances of the year in their recent international fixture.
Her movement off the ball, her control under pressure, and her ability to dictate the pace made her stand out in a team already known for technical brilliance.
The Peoples Person described her as “class in Japanese colours,” and it’s the perfect way to put it — calm, elegant, and dangerous every time she touched the ball.
Miyazawa is an example of an athlete who plays beautiful, intelligent football.

4️⃣ Manamino Yume
Another Japanese bringing us an awesome performance was Manamino Yume. She had a standout moment at the Junior World Championships, winning the all-around title with steady, confident performances across every event.
Yume looked calm, focused, and completely in control — especially on beam, where she showed a level of composure well beyond her age.
International Gymnast described her win as “commanding,” and it really was.
Yume didn’t just put together good routines — she showed the kind of balance and consistency that make people say: this girl is going places.
These were some of the Women's Sports Highlights November 2025, some of the many women who show us how to be strong and graceful in sports!
While the news don't us as much as the men's sports, we are out there and we are killing it!
Women’s sports deserve more visibility — one of my goals with this blog is to help amplify the incredible performances happening all around the world.
