Paris 2024 Olympics: Gender Equality And Youth At The Heart

• 01 Jan 2021

The Olympic Games Paris 2024, are centred on gender equality and youth.

• While Olympic Games Tokyo will be the first gender equal Olympic Games, with an overall 48.8 per cent female participation, it will be further increased at Paris 2024, reaching the exact same number of male and female athletes for the first time in Olympic history.
• This new flexibility is part of the reforms of Olympic Agenda 2020 which features the games' historic 100 percent gender equality in athlete quotas, more youth-focused events and reductions in athletes and events.

Main Features of Paris 2024’s Olympic Programme Include:

• Exactly 50 per cent male and female participation, following on from the gender equality already achieved for Tokyo 2020, which will have 48.8 per cent female participation.
• Growth of mixed gender events, from 18 to 22, compared to Tokyo 2020.
• Skateboarding, sport climbing, surfing and breaking confirmed as additional sports based on a proposal by Paris 2024.
• Breaking will make its Olympic debut.
