The last two weeks in Paris have been the best of times and the worst of times for female athletes.

Never before has there been full parity on the field of play, with an equal number of men and women competing.

There has been continued focus on skimpy uniforms in track and beach volleyball.

Despite such resistance, women have excelled on the fields of play in Paris .

Amateur boxing veterans were disqualified from last year’s world championships for failing an unspecified gender test.

Their predicament appeared to involve “differences of sex development,” a designation that applies to women who are androgen-sensitive or have naturally occurring testosterone levels in the male range.

IOC spokesman asked the media and public to “dial down this and not turn it into some kind of witch hunt”.
