The 1921 Women's Olympiad began in Monte Carlo, becoming the first international women's sports event.
The inaugural 1921 Women's Olympiad in Monte Carlo marked the first global sports competition exclusively for female athletes.
In March 1921, Monte Carlo hosted the pioneering Women's Olympiad, drawing competitors from several European nations. It featured events such as swimming, athletics, and gymnastics, providing a rare international stage for female athletes. Organized in response to the exclusion of women from many Olympic events, it showcased their skills and competitive spirit. The success of this meet spurred the development of women's sports and influenced future inclusion in the official Olympic Games. The event highlighted early strides toward gender equality in international athletics.
