  • Summary

  • With the Summer Olympics around the corner, I wanted to share a brief history about the Games. This year is particularly important as it's the first time an equal amount of women and men have the opportunity to compete as athletes. This year also marks 124 years (I said 100 years in my voiceover 🙃) since women were first allowed to participate at the Olympic Games and at the very same location in Paris. Thank you for watching/listening!
