Hilary Knight: Rough road to the top

US Women's ice hockey player Hilary Knight tells Sarah Mulkerrins about the bullying & abuse she faced playing in boys teams and her hopes that sportswomen's "capabilities not appearance" can be the focus.

The 26-year-old two-time Olympic silver medalist told Sportsworld that growing up she didn't want to "make the team because I'm a girl, I want to make the team because I'm good enough"
