Role models - for an equal sport!
Emma Green
Friidrottaren Emma Greens rekord i höjdhopp är 2,01 meter. Hon har också ett SM-guld i längdhopp.
2013 åkte Emma till Moskva för att tävla i VM i höjdhopp. Inför alla stora mästerskap dyker det upp frågor som rör mänskliga rättigheter, och den här gången handlade det om Rysslands antigaylagar. Kvällen innan kvalet postade Emma en bild på Instagram på sina nymålade naglar, något som spreds över hela världen. Läs mer om regnbågsnaglarna som blev en världsnyhet här!
Flyg högt, Emma! är inspirerad av Emma Greens barndom och modet att stå upp för människors lika värde.
