In 1896, Baron Pierre de Coubertin inaugurated the first modern era Olympic Games. At that time, women could not participate in the competitions, as sports in general were considered dangerous for women's health. At the Paris Olympics (1900), of the 997 enrolled athletes, 22 were women who competed in sailing, tennis and golf.[1] Women's participation increased considerably, and in the 2016 Olympic Games, which were held in the city of Rio de Janeiro, almost half of the athletes were women.[2]
