Per the ICDB website, her only football work since the Women's World Cup final has been four games for Amazon. Not sure why exactly this has been the case, but maybe the main host for the rest of this season, Alex Scott wasn't available today. Here's hoping Gabby is involved in the Euros in some cappacity, though with the European Athletics Championships and the Olympic almost bookending the tournament, she may not neccesarily appear.Presumably she hosted more due it being a flagship womens event rather than the availability of Alex - and Gabby herself has largely been tied up with both Six Nations tournaments for the last few months.
I've no doubt she'll be involved in some capacity at the Euros - the European Athletics Championships in Olympic year are a minor event compared to the mid-cycle championships and often just on the red button/iPlayer anyway. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if Gabby or Alex get the Champions League highlights gig, although Gabby may be the Amazon presenter which would rule her out.
As we've discussed previously would like to see her do more than just the athletics at the Paris games as she's a great all rounder. If Clare is at the swimming having Gabby take that studio role in week one would make sense but if that's not the case using Gabby on location in week one for either the rugby sevens or gymnastics would make sense.
