Marion thinks it is very difficult to be a sports journalist and a woman.

She always has to prove her knowledge to her coworkers.

Furthermore, the sports arena has a very misogynistic atmosphere.

Oftentimes, a woman journalist is cut off during on air and it does not shock anyone.

Marion says women in sports journalism have a minor participatory role on TV.

She says the only woman in the category who really stood out was Nathalie Iannetta.

But, she says, "I am an 'in-your-face' type of person and when someone bothers me, I say it!'.
