Universal inclusion was an idea whose time was yet to come (and still is, judging from the ongoing battles between differing ideologies around the globe). Women were relegated to the role of spectators in the original Olympic events and in most events of any consequence, and that was the way things stood until the second quarter of the twentieth century.<br>By then, suffragettes had won voting rights for women in many western countries, and the world hadn't come to an end. Apparently, in 1928 the time was right to give a nod to women athletes. So in Amsterdam, a city considered liberal by most standards, the stage was set for the first women Olympians in gymnastics and track and field. 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, immediately 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. By 1960 there was no way to deny that women were tough enough to compete in longer events, and the women's 800 meter was reinstated, with the 1,500 meter following in 1972, smack on the heels of the enactment of Title IX.<br><br>Title IX's<br>Slow-Growing Tsunami<br><br>As for myself, I was already in my second year of college when Title IX passed. I grew up with three brothers, so I was lucky that sports and an active, physical lifestyle were always a part of my life. For most of my classmates, sports weren't "cool." Some of these women today wage their own wars with obesity, underachievement an low self-esteem - all factors that an active lifestyle and participation in sports can ease or eliminate.<bpVpCj.&6|8V%1 QG_Y@G Rj¤o_]:(cUUܳkY+t EYmţ7-T{D2# W۬d/'~vXM+X*EǡH˪CM3YEǎV@]9i\+HC%7SʨbY.lR26,On'CW( QtW5apK\s))A$w$)#"O<慁mjQߧPI 4I$NY3Iy^k\fI$w$-VfW=e'8rr3K9xหq֕fd.GW4]mGG%:I䵛R7Po yan"KK4KFeC=3Țȍ# DlŏN4s.Ɠh| Ɉɏ b:,QF,r{ēIdb`{or|kD1ăeTzT.!\hiaʝ#cPm"Do+Pm=?I;"U",]$FGP![W{<|y8vF,h Pj8se\`-[cr>$ǴMn懕Ysb(c=2ZIdn;_OA5+չUޞ:[WS"լJ\QƊ;#nuk%ayw'Ȑ`J20QSm˾sy aɎ6%08+uPmi5>?l甎m%-S_נ _7|i^sVmsutwO:I߶O}6]Ov1^(gKͥk'+JfvK~5wJه RKgv _{CVJVUAfter explaining to the girls that they would not develop muscles like the Hulk, the girls embraced the program.
