The #Tokyo2020 Olympics will have close to equal representation of women & men athletes for the first time in the history of the games.
By comparison, in 1900, only 2.2% of the nearly 1,000 athletes that participated in the Olympics were women.
Women in sport defy gender stereotypes, make inspiring role models and help promote equality.
