Covid: Athletes' safety concerns over lockdown exercise

Female Welsh sprinters have spoken out after being abused by strangers as they train in public.

They would normally be able to train at athletics tracks but those venues have been closed because of coronavirus restrictions.

Former Wales 400m champion Rhiannon Linington-Payne said the behaviour was "potential harassment" and not "banter".

Welsh Athletics said it had started working with South Wales Police to tackle intimidating behaviour.
