What the Olympics taught me about female friendship

The Paris Olympics ended in August, and as the Paralympics continue, Michelle Tant writes about what impacted her the most - seeing the touching signs of female friendship between the athletes.

Today we don’t need to look far to see evidence of women being pitted against one another. From Meghan Markle versus Kate Middleton to the everyday mum guilt topics and ‘mean girls’ type dramas we so often see on the TV, it’s easy to buy into the narrative that female friendship is competitive in a negative way. I’ve been reflecting on friendship a lot recently and do believe that as Christian women we know a ‘better way’, and beautiful examples come from many different places.
