The 2024 Paris Olympics will mark a significant milestone in international sports history. For the first time, all 32 Olympic sports will achieve full gender parity, with 5,250 slots allocated to each sex. This development represents the culmination of a century-long progression in women's participation in the Games.
Introducing new mixed-gender events like the marathon relay further underscores the IOC's commitment to gender-balanced competition. These events expand opportunities for female athletes and challenge conventional notions of gender-specific sports. Track star Allyson Felix has been a leading advocate for maternal rights in sports.
