Women will make history at Paris 2024

In 1924, women made up only 5 per cent of the competitors. In Los Angeles, we made up 23 per cent of the athletes. But thanks to the growing commitment of the IOC, these numbers have continued to increase, and women represented almost 49 per cent of the nearly 11,000 athletes at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. In Paris, we will achieve the desired 50:50 ratio.

On top of this, by changing our rules, the IOC has placed gender equality directly in the spotlight at the Opening Ceremony, by not only allowing but also actively encouraging each team to have one female and one male athlete jointly carry their flag. Olympics
