Journalist Olga Viza said at the Sports and Society Forum, promoted by the University of Navarra, that the professionals with whom she started working "understood the presence of women in sports journalism as something natural". In addition, she pointed out that "it was a very different world from today, where the role of women was an icebreaker; we were breaking the ice layer, but without pain". She has also assured that "in 10 years we will fill stadiums to watch women's soccer, because there is an important bet and it can only grow, we will see it with different eyes".

The third session of this cycle, degree scroll "Women and sport in today's society", was also attended by journalist Mari Carmen Izquierdo. Presented by Javier Trigo, director of the Sports Service of the University of Navarra, Izquierdo said that women's wages are still a pending subject in sport: "Women athletes are not paid the same as men, because audiences and television are a tremendous marker". In this sense, she pointed out that "the private media do what their viewers demand, but the public media have the obligation to take care of women's sports".

The lecture of Olga Viza and Mari Carmen Izquierdo is part of the Foro Deporte y Sociedad, a lecture series promoted by the University of Navarra, Aedona, Anaccolde and Radio Marca, in partnership with the hotel Muga de Beloso and the Miguel Induráin Foundation, among others.

Sponsored by Caixa Bank, the session was attended by more than a hundred people, including representatives of federations, clubs, associations, media, athletes and government personalities.
