provided illustration presents a comparison of the

number

of male and female

participants

in the Olympics from 1924 to 2012,

as well as

the

number

over the same period.

Overall

, the data demonstrates that men significantly outnumbered women as

participants

in the Olympic Games, though the gender gap decreased over the years.

Furthermore

, there was a consistent growth in the total

number

of competitors across the given years. In 1924, the

number

of Olympic

participants

was approximately 3000, with men comprising nearly 99% of the total,

while

female

participants

were negligible.

However

, by 1952, both male and female participation showed marked increases, with approximately 500 more female

participants

and around 4200 more male

participants

compared to 1924.

This

trend continued with a twofold rise in female

participants

and a

further

increase in male

participants

by 1984. In 2012, there was a significant surge in

participants

, with female

participants

showing a threefold growth compared to 1984,

while

male

participants

also

experienced an upward trend. Notably, in 2012, the gender gap in

participants

was at its narrowest in the entire period. The

overall

number

of

participants

followed a consistent upward trajectory from 1924 to 2012, increasing from 3000 to 10000.

This

growth indicates a steady rise in the

overall

participation in the Olympics over the given years.
