Gender in Olympic Sports [Interactive Graphic]

The Washington Post put together a neat interactive graphic that shows how Winter Olympic Sports have evolved over time.  The graphic does a nice job of visual showing the difference between men and women over time.


If you click on each event, you can see a bit more detail. For example, when I clicked on Bobsled, I could see that the women's event was only added in 2002 and that women still are not allowed to compete in Four-Person sled competitions.


Use this interactive as a springboard to talk about differences between men's and women's sports.
