Paris Olympics: A gold medal for parity?

THE 51 PERCENT © FRANCE 24

The French capital is hosting the 2024 Olympic Games and its organisers say they are the first in history where women and men will be equally represented. But do these Games deserve a gold medal for parity? Annette Young asks former French Olympic champion and sports minister, Roxana Maracineanu, as to what she thinks. We also look at why so much of women's sportswear is seen to be sexist and the complicated issue of participation for transgender athletes.

*The 51 Percent will be taking a break over the European summer and will return at the end of August.
