The two-day inaugural Women’s Decathlon World Championship was held this weekend in Geneva to prove a point to the International Olympic Committee that females are capable of the sport and should be allowed to compete.Lauren Kuntz and Jordan Gray helped organize the meet.
“I'd be lying if I said it wasn't intimidating because it is but just know there are women supporting you and surrounding you. You don't have to feel embarrassed because we all started there at some point. Just know that you're going to be uplifted by other women who have been there and will help you get to the level that you want to be at,” she added.Gray created a petition in 2021 that currently has over 31,000 signatures.
