INTRODUCTION Imagine spending your life training in a sport. Decades of hard work and dedication, as well as some natural talent, have made you one of, if not the, best in the world. You train alongside the best athletes in your sport, continuously pushing each other to the limits of performance. This season, though, all of your training partners have been given an opportunity that you have not. You watch as they pack their gear to head to the pinnacle of sporting competition, the Olympic Games. While they dream of receiving an Olympic medal, as well as television coverage and endorsement money, you must stay back and watch the events on television in your home country. Now realize that your exclusion from the Games has nothing to do with qualifications, performance, injury, or illness. Instead, you are excluded from the Olympic Games simply because you are a woman.
