How the Tokyo Olympics Became the Most Gender-Equal Games in History The International Olympic Committee is addressing over a century of gender-based discrimination. July 22, 2021 The highly anticipated Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will see more changes than just COVID-19 restrictions when the international event kicks off on Friday. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has taken several steps to promote gender equality across events, according to the Associated Press (AP). When women made their Olympic debut at the Paris Games in 1900, only 22 out of 997 athletes were women, and they competed across five sports. Women did not make up more than 10% of participants until 1952 and weren’t allowed to compete in every sport until 2012. Despite progress, professional women athletes continue to fight for equal footing at the games.
