In our weekly feature on the ins and outs in women's sport, BBC Sport ups its game in terms of live free-to-air women's sport while Manchester City win the domestic cup double.

Athletics

The big news in the world of sport last week was dominated the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision that went in favour of the IAAF's new rule that allows it to restrict testosterone levels in female runners.

Under the rule, athletes with differences of sexual development must take medication if they want to compete in track events from 400m to the mile, or change to another distance.

South African middle-distance runner Caster Semenya challenged the rule, but although CAS found that the laws were discriminatory, they backed the IAAF saying it was "necessary, reasonable and proportionate" to protect "the integrity of female athletics". 

The regulation will come into effect on May 8.

Football

Manchester City are your 2019 Women's FA Cup winners after beating West Ham United 3-0 in the final in front of a crowd of 43,264 at Wembley.

It was a slow start as the first-half was goalless, but Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp notched goals in the second 45 to give City a convincing win to add the FA Cup to the League Cup they won in February.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies have joined Manchester United in winning promotion to the 2020 Women's Super League.

Spurs, who will change their name to Tottenham Hotspur Women next season, drew 1-1 with Aston Villa to confirm their runners-up spot in the Championship. 

Jessica Naz scored the crucial goal for Spurs before Amy West drew Villa level, but the point was enough to earn promotion to the WSL.

The 2019 Women's World Cup in France is just over a month away and countries are starting to release their squads for the event.

You can keep track with all the squads on Wikipedia.

General

BBC Sport has launched its #changethegame women's summer of sport campaign that will see them broadcast more live free-to-air women's sport than ever before across BBC TV, radio and digital platforms. 

"This summer is a fantastic platform for women's sport deserving of our unrivalled line-up of presenters, pundits and commentators to ensure audiences are given the best analysis and insight from every sport," Director of BBC Sport Barbara Slater said.

Golf

Kim Sei-young is the 2019 LPGA Mediheal Championship winner after holding off Bronte Law and Jeongeun Lee6 in the playoff at Lake Merced in California.

The South Korean, who collected her eighth LPGA trophy in the process, entered the final day with a three-shot lead, but that advantage was gone inside two holes as she started with a double bogey and a bogey. 

She eventually finished with a three-over 75 and her seven-under 281 earned her a playoff spot alongside Law and Lee6. 

The trio returned to the par-5 18th and Kim made a two-putt birdie while her rivals came up well short.

"It was really tough," the 26-year-old said. "The whole day I got a lot of pressure. And I missed the last par 3, and that's really bad for me. I'm still like almost my heart came out."

Nuria Iturrios can do no wrong at the moment as the Spaniard followed up her Lalla Meryem Cup win in Morocco last weekend with the Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic, the first professional day-night golf tournament.

The 23-year-old carded rounds of 68, 67 and 71 for a total of 10-under-par 206 to finish one stroke ahead of German duo Esther Henseleit and Olivia Cowan at the floodlit Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club.

"It’s amazing to win again and I’m so excited," Iturrios said. "Congratulations to Esther, Olivia and every player in the field. It was so cool. I loved playing in the first day-night tournament and I hope to come back next year."

There was good news from the BBC as the public broadcaster will show highlights of the 2019 Solheim Cup, which takes place from September 13-15 at Gleneagles, Scotland.

A one-hour highlights programme will be shown on either BBC Two or BBC Four after the conclusion of each day’s play with the show also available on BBC iPlayer.

Tennis

It wasn't to be for Johanna Konta in Rabat as she finished runner-up to Maria Sakkari at the Morocco Open.

Greek Sakkari won her first-ever WTA Tour title as she came from a set down to beat British No 1 Konta 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the final.

It was still a brilliant week for Konta as she reached her first-ever clay-court final. 

Over in the Czech Republic, qualifier Jil Teichmann also had a week to remember as the world No 146 beat local favourite Karolina Muchova 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-4 to won the Prague Open.
