Since the Olympics are here once again. I wanted to share an interesting fact related to the world ceremony. The Games of the I Olympiad were held in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 in 1896. During these games there were no female competitors. Only men where the ones participating.
Female athletes wouldn’t be introduced to the games until the Games of the II Olympiad held in Paris, France 🇫🇷 in 1900. Many people today would’ve guessed much later, but female athletes have been a thing in the games since very much the beginning.
