CNN —When Joan Chelimo first met Rebecca Cheptegei, she remembers her fellow distance runner simply as a “normal, happy girl,” delighted to be competing at the Olympics. The pair had started talking after competing in the women’s marathon in Paris last month, Chelimo representing Romania and Cheptegei running for Uganda. On Friday, a day before Cheptegei’s funeral in eastern Uganda, Tirop’s Angels hosted a femicide walk in the Kenyan city of Eldoret. There have been plenty of challenges along the way for those involved in Tirop’s Angels, particularly in the early days. “The first time we started Tirop’s Angels, we had a lot of rejection,” says Chelimo.

Kenyan Senator Gloria Orwoba is calling for more research on the link between air pollution and women's reproductive health. Now, she tells CNN, targeted government intervention is needed to address the possible effects of air pollution on menstrual cycles.

WELLINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Spain's build-up to the Women's World Cup was mired in an ugly player mutiny, but coach Jorge Vilda said there are no cracks in his squad ahead of their World Cup quarter-final game on Friday against the Netherlands. We have a group that competes and they are all fighting for the same objective, and they're very motivated," Vilda told reporters on Thursday. While only six of those players are at the World Cup, La Roja has already made history by qualifying for the quarter-finals for the first time in three appearances. We believe that we are a team, not only the players, but all the technical staff. The 42-year-old, who has coached Spain's senior team since 2015, praised how hard his players have worked at the World Cup.
