In 1896, four years after the Frenchman Coubertin called for "Revival of the Olympic Movement", the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. 241 athletes from 14 countries participated in a total of 43 events. But at that time Not a single female athlete. In 1900, the second Olympic Games held in Paris, France, opened up the right for women to participate, focusing on tennis, swimming, golf, archery, gymnastics, skating and swimming. At that time, only 2.2% of all participating athletes were female. It was not until 1924 that the International Olympic Committee officially allowed women to participate in the Olympic Games through a meeting. In the same year, the Eighth Olympic Games came to Paris, France again, and the proportion of female participating athletes increased to 4.4%.

She said bluntly: "In fact, it is not just female athletes participating in the Olympic Games, but in the process of economic, social and political development, more and more women are participating. This shows the degree of civilization of a society and also reflects social changes. A process. In China, especially after the reform and opening up, more and more women are participating in various social activities, taking on more responsibilities and playing a greater role. At this time, sports are only one aspect of this. Small mirror."

Li Lingwei introduced with a smile that in the Chinese Olympic Committee, Women's positions have reached nearly 30%. "In the development of our Chinese society and in the field of Chinese sports, women have always been a very important presence. Including the upcoming Olympic qualifying competitions in Shanghai, the Shanghai Central Women's Vertical Marathon, etc., they will all reflect this concept of gender equality."

Gu Xiaojie analyzed that, "More and more women are falling in love with sports, especially fashion sports, which is consistent with the background of the times. I call it sports in a lifestyle that pleases oneself. In fact, it is more like a kind of self-healing. Specifically In other words, everyone knows that the world is full of uncertainty, and many young people feel that they cannot control everything, so they seek to please themselves. At this time, exercise is a good way to heal themselves. Therefore, many people today.

Against this background, women are also driving the trends in many emerging sports, such as running, yoga, Frisbee, and flag football. , paddle tennis, etc.”
