Women in sports

Initially most sports were played competitively only by male players, but over a period of time, the number of female participants has increased. Though early women players had to wear restrictive clothing in keeping with the trends of the time, these restrictions have been removed to a great extent in recent years.

Even today female players in most tournaments get paid less than their male counterparts. In some games like tennis, men play a three set match , while women play a two set match due to their lower strength and stamina.

However, the number of girls participating in sports has increased significantly in the last few years. Chic Sports Radio was set up to cover women in sports.
