76 years ago (1948) Alice Coachman became the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal by winning the high jump at the London Games. To celebrate the start of the 2024 Olympics and the major progress we're seeing in the support of women's sports and female athletes - congrats to WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) on it's new $2.2Bn media deal - we are highlighting some of the exceptional women athletes of color who've made a profound impact on the Olympics and beyond. These athletes embody the Olympic spirit, strength, determination and excellence. Here's to celebrating their remarkable achievements and the achievements of all athletes of all backgrounds and diversity competing in Paris. #ParisOlympics2024
