Whoa: The Olympics is introducing mixed-gender events

The Olympics is a time-honored traditional sporting event, and we’re glad to see it evolve with the times!

Expect some new changes as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is now including mixed-gender categories, a huge win for female athletes around the world!

The mixed-gender events will be seen across athletics, table tennis, swimming categories, and triathlon categories.

The Olympics will also see the addition of a 4x400m mixed relay in athletics and a 4x100m medley mixed relay in swimming to the games. There will also be a mixed relay in the triathlon and mixed doubles in table tennis.

To appeal to a younger demographic, the Olympic sports will also climb to 33, as opposed to 28 in 2016, including newer sports such as karate, baseball, karate, skateboarding, surfing, and sport climbing.
