In this chapter the authors examine the precariousness of being an elite female athlete during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on data collected from an Australian professional sporting club, they explore the gendered nature of professional sport and associated challenges for female athletes. The authors utilise the theoretical work of Judith Butler to appraise the disproportionate impact of the global pandemic on the precarious work of female professional athletes.
