TIME100 Sports Honorees Toast to the Power of Sport and Support

She went on to applaud the “unprecedented global investment in new women’s leagues, teams, and events across the sports landscape,” adding that not only does it spur exciting competition, but it also sparks careers, builds communities, and shows “the next generation that there is a place for them—not only on the field, but in ownership, leadership, media, and every part of the sports industry.”

“So, tonight, I toast to the continued growth of investment in women’s sports, so that the next generation of girls around the world can dream even bigger than anyone could imagine,” Morgan said.

During his toast, Prince Harry spoke about how attending the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs inspired him to start the Invictus Games, a sports competition for wounded veterans.

“In the arena, sport wasn’t simply rebuilding strength—it was restoring confidence, purpose, identity, and connection,” he said. “That’s when I realized something profound: sport isn’t just entertainment and competition—sport is medicine. It reaches places that surgery cannot, therapies sometimes struggle to, and words often never will.”
