1900s

Although since the 1970s and 1980s, women have begun to carve out an important role in the sports disciplines (previously practiced exclusively by men) and despite a continuous path of female emancipation in sport, stereotypes still exist about women in sport who see them as too weak, too emotional and not very competitive.
In the twentieth century, things changed: some women managed to participate unofficially in tennis, golf, croquet and sailing competitions at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, while in 1921 the first Women's Olympiad was held in Monte Carlo.
In 1928, at the Amsterdam Olympics, women were admitted to athletics competitions. In 1936, women's competitions were established in Berlin in the main sports categories. But only the 2012 London Olympics accepted the participation of female athletes in all disciplines, including women's boxing.
2000s
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, for the first time, women competed in wrestling - in the freestyle weight classes of 48 kg, 55 kg, 63 kg and 72 kg, in the saber discipline and Afghan women competed in the Olympics for the first time after the nation was banned from Sydney 2000 by the IOC due to the Taliban government's opposition to women in sport.
At the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics the program remained unchanged and at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, some new events for women were added, such as the 3,000m obstacle course and the 10km marathon. Baseball and boxing remained the only sports not open to women at these Games.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, skicross debuted for both women and men. The 2012 Summer Olympics saw the debut of women's boxing, which coupled with the IOC's decision to eliminate baseball from the program for this edition, resulted in women competing in all sports at the Summer Games for the first time. London 2012 also marked another record: it was the first time that all national Olympic committees have sent a female athlete to the Games (among them Brunei, Saudi Arabia and Qatar did it for the first time).
The women's ski jump made its first appearance at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro the first women's seven-a-side rugby competition and golf for women was added back to the program, for the first time since 1900. The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeong Chang saw the addition of big air snowboard, mixed double curling, mass start speed skating and mixed team alpine skiing.
The women will compete in softball, karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The International Ski Federation said it aims to include the women's Nordic combined in the Olympic program at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing for the first time. The new sport climbing event will have several categories: speed climbing, bouldering and lead climbing. The 2020 Olympics are the first time that women will compete in these sports.
The 2020 Olympics will also be the first year that openly trans women will be able to compete in the Olympics with Laurel Hubbard competing in weightlifting.
