Women rising to POWER here, competing in the most numbers of all Olympic history this year! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Stamina, the Unbeaten Attitudes of Female Competitors are Worth Noting in the 2024 Olympics
Lin Yuting, the female boxer, despite the disputes of gender, firmly stood her grounds, defeated the Polish fighter in the fifty-seven kilogram weight group, won the very first GOLD in Olympics in boxing, a second gold medal for the Republic of China competitors, bringing the total of medals to two gold, five bronze.
In the Paris Olympic this year, it's the women who shone bright, they'd shown the forces of life for competing, for the sports and for their, countries, their spirits of getting back up when beaten down, is worth modeling after for everybody in the country, not just in sports competition.

For example, the "Queen of Weightlifting" Ku won bronze in the fifty-nine kilogram weightlifting in Olympics, became the three time consecutive medalist in the Olympics from the country. The news media reported, to overcome her waist injuries, she'd shipped the mattress she slept on to Paris with her. As she received her medal, she cried, and stated, "I have my self to thank, being in the Olympics four times total, and finally, I'm on the podiums!", the short statements, showed how hard she'd worked, and how determined she is, to win.
And, the twenty-three-year-old female track competitor from St. Lucia, Alfred, in the 100-meter sprint, she'd won gold, defeating multiple American fellow sprinters, and earned a very first Olympic medal for this island in the Caribbeans. St. Lucia is a country with diplomatic friendship with Taiwan, with a total population of only 180,000, and only one-fifty-seventh land area to Taiwan, the resources to train the athletes are lacking, Alfred told in the interviews, that in her growing up, she'd not had any shoes on, had to run barefoot, or had to wear her school uniform to train in, to earn a gold medal for her country.
And, the Brazilian table tennis competitor with only one arm, Alexndre competed in the Olympics for the very first time, she is also the very first competitor who's competed in the Olympics and the paralympics in the same year. Although the hard fight on the fifth, she'd still lost to South Korea, but every member of the audience gave her a standing ovation. Alexandre is twenty-nine years old, when she was a toddler, due to embolism in his right arm, she was amputated, she'd told the French news agency, "many years, I'd worked hard to fight for my Olympic qualifications, I knew it would be hard, but I did it, and now I'm in Paris, living a great dream."

The oldest Olympian this year is the equestrian female competitor from Australia, the sixty-nine year old Janna, she's only about four months away from her seventieth. This would be her seventh time entering the Olympics competitions, her debut was in the Atlanta Olympics back in 1996, and in the past, she'd competed multiple times, and never won first, second, or third, with the best place of sixth, but Janna was undeterred, continued to compete. She'd told the interviewer, riding horse is my favorite sport, as long as I can still ride, I will keep on competing, because this is my life, my, everything."
There are a total of 15,000 competitors from all around the world this year, and fifty percent of whom were women, this is an Olympic of equal number of men and women competing. For Taiwan, many of the young competitors were competing for the first times in their lives, although some were defeated, but the team is strong, and broken the national records; in the future, if the competitors continued fighting, I'm sure, that we will show the world, how Taiwanese competitors can perform excellently in the Olympic games.
So, this is the very first time, that there are, equal number of men AND women competing in the Olympics, and this showed how we women are becoming stronger, that we are, coming out of the darkness, that there will only be more and more women, who will be, shining through, in these competitions, despite the noises of questioning of the competitors weren't of their sex categories, and that was, probably, the ONLY blemish of the Olympics this year.
