How Wimbledon's sustainability mission is impacting change on sports globally
Hattie Park, the sustainability manager at the All England Club where the Championships at Wimbledon are held every year, walks around the bucolic 42-acre tennis grounds with a sense of pride combined with a sense of purpose. Sustainability might be something that takes a back seat to the 700 tennis matches played by the best in the world as millions of people watch around the globe, but to Park, that is almost exactly the point. “Wimbledon is essentially played in an English garden,” Park told ABC News during a visit this spring. “If we want to continue playing tennis and enjoying outdoor sport, whether it's at the elite level that you have at Wimbledon or at the grassroots level, we've simply got to ensure that we have a resilient environment to carry out that sport.” Park’s job is a big one. She wants to find a balance between the environment, natural resources and human needs -- constantly pushing for fundamental and foundational change without disrupting the aura and tradition that Wimbledon brings to the table.
Team USA Olympian Nikki Hiltz on their journey to Paris 2024 Olympics
Team USA middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz discusses their journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics and their LGBTQ+ advocacy after coming out as transgender and nonbinary. Hiltz came out as a nonbinary, transgender person right before the Olympic trials in 2021. They wanted to walk away from the sport in 2021 after expecting a weight to be lifted. But it was the opposite. Hiltz mentioned that they didn't set out to be an advocate for LGBTQ rights, but were forced into the spotlight after coming out as trans-nonbinary. Having qualified for the Olympics on Sunday, Hiltz is now fully focused on the next goal. ABC News sat down with Hiltz on qualifying for the Olympics and the recent media attention they received.
