The International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose “Going Green” as the theme of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. For the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, the IOC seems to have chosen “Gender Equality.”
The sports director of the IOC, McConnell Kit, told journalists that the 2028 games will see a marked increase in events where men and women compete together.
“Mixed events are a true true realization of gender equality: men and women who compete in the same team, on the same field of play for their country,” said McConnell.
“We have seen the real success of these (mixed gender events). They bring something incredible for the athletes involved.”
Sports destined to see the greatest increase in mixed genres competition are golf, athletics and gymnastics.
Sebastian Coe, is rumored that he is a favorite to happen to Thomas Bach as head of the IOC, his offer prays for the coveted work to Zimbabwean Kirsty Coventry. Coe and Coventry strongly opposed to allow men to compete in women’s sports.
However, one wonders if the emphasis on expanding the competence of mixed genres under the flag of “gender quality” is not an attempt to placate the liberal members of the ICO annoyed by plans for trans athletes.
