阅读理解。 It is true that the first Olympic Games of the modern times in 1896 were not open to women. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who gave new life to the Games, was very much a man of his time. He didn't like women showing up for the Games. But since this time, things have changed. History shows that the number of women participating in the Olympic Games has been increasing over the years, since their first participation in the 1900 Olympic Games and especially in the last 30 years. This development is of social, political and cultural significance (意义). The progress is the result of the cooperation (合作)of the entire Olympic Movement and of proper measures that the International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Sports Federations (IFs), and National Olympic Committees( NOCs) have taken. Especially in the last 20 years, the IOC has enlarged the women's program at the Olympic Games, in cooperation with IFs and the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games ( OCOGs ). This development was further strengthened (巩固) by the IOC's decision that all sports must have women's events. The IOC also started to work on increasing the number of women at leadership level in sports in 1981. Former President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who wanted to have women as IOC members, made a great contribution. (贡献). Many sports volunteers have worked to increase the number of women joining in the Olympic Games. This progress has been made also thanks to the strong determination of women from different countries of the world who have worked to make sure women are fully represented in all sports. 1.
