Gender identity and Olympic games: The iridescence in Tokyo 2020

Abstract

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has brought great strides in terms of equality and inclusion. At least 185 publicly out LGBTIQ+ athletes have attended this global mega-event, which is more than triple the number from the 2016 Rio Olympics. This study investigates the sports participation of the LGBTIQ+ group based on qualitative method of literature review and logical analysis. It first examines the literature about the LGBTIQ+ group's sports participation and then sheds light on the evolution of gender characteristics of Olympics and sports from a historical research perspective. Finally, taking Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as an example, this work discusses the state quo and future of the LGBTIQ+ group's Olympic participation. The results indicate that sex discrimination in sports has a long history. As the most important global sporting event, the Olympic Games have gone through different stages from the "male-exclusivity" to the gender binary system. However, true gender equality has not yet been realized. In addition, it points out that the Tokyo Olympics is of positive significance for promoting inclusiveness and equality. The ever-developing inclusiveness and diversity will probably break the gender competition mechanism of the Olympic Games. Sports institutions need to deal well with issues of gender equality and fair competition

No obstante, en nuestro contexto nacional al parecer la brecha de dm no diagnosticada en la población en general es amplia; según Tenorio (14), el 46,8 Figura 1.…”

The Relationship of Gender Differences to Economic Development Worldwide

“…From there, growing inclusion and diversity will redefine the dynamics of gender competition in the Olympics. [12] Overall, there is plentiful evidence of different treatment of men and women at the Olympics and different levels of persistence shown by different genders in different situations. This paper aims to investigate the different persistence levels of both genders among top Olympic athletes.…”
