The Tokyo Olympics are supposed to be a 'landmark in gender equality'

16 July 2021 11:19am If you believe the hype from the International Olympic Committee, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will be a “landmark in gender equality” and the “first gender-balanced games in history”. The Olympics do not have a good track record when it comes to gender equality. At the end of the 19th century, when it was founded, the modern Olympic movement deliberately excluded women. Games patriarch Baron Pierre de Coubertin argued an Olympiad with women would be: “impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic and improper”. With the postponed 2020 Tokyo Games due to start next Friday, what advances can we celebrate? And what still needs to change?

Swimming-Lawyer Ronalds to lead Australian review into abuse...

MELBOURNE, June 29 (Reuters) - Swimming Australia (SA) has appointed barrister Chris Ronalds to lead its review into allegations of abuse of swimmers, the national federation said on Tuesday. Australian swimming has been under the microscope since double Olympic silver medallist Madeline Groves withdrew from Tokyo Games trials, citing mysogynistic perverts in the sport. Several unnamed former swimmers have since submitted allegations of misconduct to SA, which on Saturday acknowledged historical abuses of swimmers dating back decades . The community can be assured this will be an independent process and I look forward to presenting some outcomes that will ensure swimming will be a safe and successful environment in Australia in the future, Sydney-based Ronalds said in a statement issued by SA.
