The sports strap comprises an ankle wrap portion which is worn around the ankle and a releasable fastener. The sports strap includes a pull strap extending from the exposed end of the wrap portion. The pull strap is long enough and wide enough that it can be grasped and pulled by the hand of a competitor during the competition.
