We're already excited.
It has been 120 years since the first women competed in the Olympic Games. In 1900, 22 women competed alongside 997 men in five different categories including tennis, sailing, croquet, equestrian, and golf. This was the very beginning of an era in which women athletes finally began to receive representation and recognition for a wide variety of sports. For the most part, each year of the modern Olympic Games has seen a steady rise in women’s participation.

There’s probably someone with the exact same story. I trained hard. I got lucky. I dodged injuries. I raced a lot, and it worked out for me. That’s the story for a lot of other people, too.
