Charlotte Caslick remembers well the day her heavily favoured Australian women’s Rugby Sevens team failed to win a medal at the Paris Olympics – and the online vitriol that followed. A decade in rugby has toughened Caslick to social media criticism, but the 30-year-old admits the abusive messages had a profound impact on her teammates. “After Paris, when we didn’t perform how we wanted to, there were a few messages around,” Caslick said. “Some players [were] quite sensitive to that. “A lot of people seem to be getting fed up by anonymous trolls. Some athletes are exposed to some really nasty things online, which no one should have to go through.”
