Abstract
The Paris Olympics has proudly proclaimed to be the first games in 128 years to offer gender equality.
This has been achieved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) providing an equal number of quota places for female and male athletes, while also increasing the number of women in coaching, broadcasting and sport governance roles.
However, gender equality in sport is not just about the numbers – it involves dismantling systemic patriarchy piece by piece.
