English Language Broadcast - Lilí Álvarez "La señorita": a pioneer in the Olympics - 27/06/24

  • Resumen

  • Next month the 2024 Olympics will begin in Paris. This year 5250 will participate in the games, the same number as men. A success in terms of parity, especially if we think about 100 years ago... In the 1924 Olympics, also in Paris, only 136 women competed, compared tp more than 2900 men. For our country those games were particularly special. Rosa Torras and Lilí Alvarez were the first Spanish women in the Olympics, paving the way for all female athletes who came after them and in particular for the 173 women who are expected to participate in this year's Olympic games.

    Now, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first time Spanish women participated in the Olympics and to celebrate the figure of Lilí Alvarez. The photography festival Photoespaña, in collaboration with the Fundación Ortega Marañón, organized an exhibition showcasing the story of Lilí Álvarez, her achievements and influence, not only in sports but in culture. To learn more about the exhibition "La señorita: Lilí Álvarez and the beginnings of women's sports 1915 - 1936" we visited the Foundation Ortega Marañon and Spoke with curator, Lucía Lain.
