Folks,

A new sports blogging website which aims to follow a number of young professional athletes and sportspeople from around the world has been launched this weekend.

Over the coming months, the athletes involved will be blogging about their successes and failures, triumphs and near misses and everything going on in their world of sport. You are most likely to be familiar with the England Ladies footballer Karen Carney.

Visit thetalkofsport.com

Feel free to join the mailing list where you will receive updates when one of the athletes produces a new entry, and perhaps even send in a question.

They're an enthusiastic and articulate bunch of guys and - I think, though I'm probably biased - it's well worth the read.
