The article discusses the historical exclusion of women from the Olympic Games, which can be traced back to the founder Pierre de Coubertin's belief that women's only role in sports was to present awards to male winners. As history progressed, women fought for their rightful place in the Olympics, culminating in 2024, when for the first time, the same number of women participated as men. Despite significant advancements towards gender parity, the article highlights that at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano/Cortina, one specific discipline continues to exclude female athletes, underscoring ongoing challenges in achieving full equality in sports. This exclusion raises concerns about the commitment of the International Olympic Committee to its own principles of equality and highlights the need for continued advocacy for women's rights in all aspects of athletics.
