Background: The Olympic Decathlon crowns the World’s Greatest Athlete. Yet somehow, women are
still not allowed to compete. This blew our minds. So we teamed up with US women’s decathlete and world record-holder Jordan Gray to fight for gender equality in the Olympics by launching Let Women Decathlon, an organization petitioning the International Olympic Committee to add Women’s Decathlon to the 2024 Olympic Games. We’re asking anyone who believes women should have equal rights as men to sign at letwomendecathlon.org.
