Postmodernism:
While female Olympics competitors are closing in on the gender parity gap, women are still lagging behind in the boardroom, where executive decisions are made.
In 2013 the first woman became a board member
In 2016, only 24 of 106 International Olympic Committee board members (22.6 percent) are women. Currently in 2019, 33 percent of members are women. The percentage keeps increasing.


The article titled "Promotion of gender equality" states, "Sport is one of the most powerful platforms for promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls. As the leader of the Olympic Movement, the IOC has an important responsibility to take action when it comes to gender equality – a basic human right of profound importance and a Fundamental Principle of the Olympic Charter.
Great progress has been made in promoting gender equality in terms of balancing the total number of athletes participating at the Games, offering leadership development, advocacy and awareness campaigns, and more recently appointing more women to leadership roles within the administration and governance."
