The 2024 Paris Olympics will be the first to achieve total gender parity. From 26 July to 11 August, 5,250 male and 5,250 female athletes will compete in the 33rd edition of the modern Games.
By meeting this figure, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has fulfilled the 11th recommendation of the Olympic Agenda 2020, which aimed for 50:50 gender balance between male and female athletes, and an increase in the number of mixed team events, which will number around 20 of the 329 total events at the games.
