Paris 2024 Olympics: A New Era for Women in Sport



The game is changing. For the first time in history, the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will see an equal number of men and women competing. This 50:50 representation of athletes makes the Summer Games the first to reach gender equality.

Progress does not stop there. With an expected global audience of 3 billion, this year’s Games will feature equal prime time coverage of all events, putting all athletes in the spotlight. The Games will also feature more women’s and mixed events, offering more opportunities for women to win medals.
