LA Times  

Gold medalist Rebeca Andrade, center, of Brazil, celebrates on the podium between silver medalist Simone Biles, left, and bronze medalist Jordan Chiles, both of the U.S., after the women’s artistic gymnastics individual floor finals at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The International Olympic Committee’s emphasis on balancing its medal opportunities and participant list by gender creates an undeniable win for female athletes. Women have infused social media feeds with compelling stories daily — not just the dominance of gymnast Simone Biles or swimmer Katie Ledecky, but also Lee Kiefer’s gold medal in fencing, Ilona Maher putting “beast mode” in the zeitgeist via women’s rugby, and Gabby Thomas winning her first gold medal on the international stage. Even at these “gender equal” Paris Olympics, six countries had no women competing at all, while Mali, Botswana, El Salvador, Qatar and other countries had fewer than 15% female participants.
