Rio 2016 is already showcasing how far women athletes have come. I wonder if all of the work schedules of all the spouses were mentioned in other Olympic win stories. What’s really important, in this throwback summer of 2016, isn’t the female athlete’s achievements. But articles on female athletes are more likely to have words such as compete, participate and strive. More women are participating in the Games than ever before — 45 percent of the athletes are female.
