Simone Biles is widely considered the most decorated gymnast in history with a combined 37 World Championship and Olympic medals. In terms of Olympic medals across all sports, Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina held the record for decades with 18 Olympic medals, while cross-country skier Marit Bjorgen leads all Winter Olympians with 15 medals.
Title IX is a United States federal law passed in 1972 that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving federal funding. It has had a transformative impact on women's sports, dramatically increasing female participation in high school and college athletics from roughly 300,000 to over 3.4 million participants.
Women first competed in the Olympic Games at the 1900 Paris Olympics, where 22 women participated in tennis and golf. The 1896 Athens Olympics were exclusively male. Since then, female participation has grown steadily, and the 2024 Paris Olympics achieved near-equal gender representation for the first time in history.
