    Great to hear that finally all teams have female athletes. Sent a shiver down my spine seeing the reactions of the female athletes in the countries that only got that recently

    The women competing for Saudi Arabia still had to walk behind the men, but it's a start.

    Also, as far as I'm aware, while there are two women competing for Saudi Arabia, if it were held in SA they'd be banned from competing. Or being in the stadium to watch. So for all intents and purposes, it's for show.

    Why the flip are they speaking French first?

    I dunno, they do it for most sports, they do it at the Dublin Horse Show as well, always French, then English.

    French is the official language of the Olympics, followed by English.
