Male and female participants of Olympics
The given charts give details about the number of Olympics participants in both genders from 1924 to 2012. Above all, there was a significant increase in the total sum of participants. Overall, the number of male participants was always higher than that of female participants.
As can be seen from the first graph, in 1924, the Olympic champion took place with 3000 male competitors while hardly any females joined in. There was a noticeable development in male participants while that figure of females developed moderately. In 1952, over 5000 males went in for the Olympics while only 1500 females joined in. However, in 2012, the number of females athletics grew dramatically to nearly 5000, only 1000 lower than that of males.
The second graph described the growing tendency of the participants during 88 years. The number of contestants started with a nearby 4000 then growing dramatically in the following years before finishing at over 10000.
