Swiss Olympic has selected 120 athletes to represent Switzerland in Paris. By the way Paris is hosting the Olympic Games for the third time. In 1900, women were finally permitted to take part, but only 22 did. By 1924, women made up 4 percent of the athletes. A century on, and there will be just as many female as male athletes competing this year.
