WOMEN IN SPORT: THE LONG ROAD TO EQUITY

Since the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900, where 22 women out of 997 athletes participated in five sports, the involvement of women in sports has gradually increased. At the decision-making level, progress has been less impressive. There were no women members of the IOC until 1981 and, as of today, there are 38 women out of 102. Of the 43 honorary members, only two are women. The portraying of female athletes in media also needs to be much improved, both qualitatively and quantitively.
