The longest event for women was the 800-meter race, won by Lina Radke of Germany. As the athletes crossed the finish line, several of the competitors collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, a result not uncommon among male competitors too.<br>In response to this, the Olympic officials, who were aghast at subjecting "the weaker sex" to such an ordeal, immediatel withdrew the 800-meter as an event and the event wasn't reinstated for 32 years. The 100-meter remained the only track event for women other than the hurdles until 1948, when the 200-meter was added.

As late as the 1970s, girls' sports not only were neglected, they were often actively discouraged. In the government publication "Title IX: women because they don t on men. Women bodybuilders paid a terrible price for this knowledge. They also lost sight of any sociological impact they m
