The First Time Women Competed in the Olympics

[Tomoyo Chan]

The first time women were allowed to participate in the Olympics was at the 1900 Games in Paris. Out of the 997 competitors, 22 of them are women. These 22 female athletes took part in five sports, such as tennis, croquet, golf, sailing, and equestrianism.

Such a cool topic! I think it’s interesting that women weren’t allowed in many events at first, though tennis and golf paved the way.
