LECTURE: OLYMPIC GAMES 2024 - ROUND TABLE - ON THE WAY TO PARIS: OLYMPIC GAMES & EQUALITY

Twenty years after the Olympic Games in Athens and five months before the Paris Games, the Organizing Committee “Paris 2024” has announced that this will be the first Olympic event in which the number of men and women participating will be exactly the same.
On the occasion of International Women's Day, female athletes—Olympic winners and champions—describe their past and present experiences trying to answer the question of whether the journey of women athletes towards equality is still a challenge or this peak has already been conquered.
