The given two graphs provide data on the number of participants in the Olympics from 1924 to 2012, divided by gender and the total number of people.

The line graph and bar charts illustrate the

number

of men and women

athletes

who participated in the Olympic games between 1924 and 2012.

Overall

, it can be seen that over the

last

88 years ago not only the

number

of competitors was increased but

also

male

athletes

were the dominant

group

in comparison to sportswomen. First of all, in 1924 the

number

of people who participated in the Olympics was about 3000 where sportsmen had a 99% share of

this

number

and female

athletes

had the lowest

number

of

participants

. Over the next 60 years, the

number

of Olympic competitors increased gradually and reached more than double, about 7000

participants

, in total. From 1984 to 2012, the

number

of

athletes

experienced a dramatic rise where it saw six in ten per cent growth in the

number

of

participants

and reached its peak. Second of all, over

this

period the

number

of men Olympic

athletes

dominated over the female

group

and

this

amount increased gradually from 3000 to 6000

participants

which doubled in total.

In contrast

, females had the lowest

number

from 1924 to 1984 in comparison to the male

group

.

However

, between 1984 and 2012

this

rate experienced a 3000 skyrocket in growth where it stood with only 1500 sportswomen less than the male

group

in 2012.
