Abstract

This paper provides preliminary findings from my study of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to allow women cyclists to compete in the Olympic Games. Male cyclists had contested both road and track cycling events since the resumption of the modern games in 1896, but women were not allowed to compete until 1984—and initially, they were limited to participating in the road race only.
