For the first time ever, an Olympic Games has achieved gender equality. Half of all competing athletes at Paris 2024 are women. But how did we get here?
This chart tracks the share of male and female athletes participating through the Olympic Games over the years. Data is sourced from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as of 2024.

7 of Canada's 10 medals are from the women's side. Canadian men need to step it up.
