When Charlotte Cooper won gold in womens tennis at the 1900 Paris Olympics, it was nothing short of remarkable.She played in an ankle-length Victorian dress and couldnt hear a sound, having?gone completely deaf years earlier. She represented Great Britain -- a country that had yet to recognize the womens right to vote like so many others at the time. Paris was the first modern Olympics that even allowed women to compete after the addition of womens tennis and golf to the Games. In winning, Cooper became the first woman ever to earn an individual Olympic gold medal.More than a century later, some 4,700 women traveled to Rio in hopes of following in her footsteps -- the highest number of women ever. As they competed on the largest world stage in sports, it became clear how far women have come from the days of Charlotte Cooper -- and how far they have yet to go.Saudi Arabia set a country record by doubling the number of women it sent to the Olympics, with four women traveling to Rio for only the second Summer Games that Saudi women were permitted to compete.Rafaela Silva won Brazils first gold medal in Rio in a triumphant comeback from her judo loss at the previous Olympics in London. Yet in an emotional interview after her championship match, she noted how little support she received from her fellow Brazilians.Everyone criticized me. They said judo wasnt for me, said Silva, who as a black woman from a poor neighborhood in Rio, has overcome many hurdles to get where she is today. They said I was an embarrassment to my family. And now Im an Olympic champion in my own home.Media coverage offered other reflections of gender bias. Of the record 170 commentators, around 20 percent were women. The skewed representation of women reporters could help explain why some commentators referred to women athletes as girls, or why some outlets seemed to give credit to athletes husbands instead of the women themselves. One study of Olympic news coverage found that media reports focused on womens age and marital status, while highlighting mens strength and speed.The U.S. media coverage seemed to be the rule, not the exception. The Associated Press published a story that led with Michael Phelps tying for second in the mens 100-meter butterfly, while Katie Ledeckys record-setting win in the womens 800-meter freestyle was an afterthought to both the headline and the lead of the story, which covered both races.Gymnast Simone Biles pushed back on some of the more subtle sexist media coverage that used men as proxies to explain womens accomplishments.Im not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps, she said after winning gold in the womens all-around final. Im the first Simone Biles.These moments transcend the world of sports to show the world of gender equality. Secretary of State John Kerry sometimes uses sports metaphors in discussions where hes advancing gender equality. After the Olympics, that seems all the more appropriate.Sports offer a lens through which we can see the status of women and girls in society. Is a country literally keeping half its population on the bench? Does society hold back women and girls from reaching their full potential by diminishing their accomplishments or lashing out at their willingness to try? The 2016 Olympic Games offer some sobering answers to these questions.But perhaps what matters most isnt the Olympics ability to illustrate the state of sexist media or opportunity for women in sports. Perhaps what matters is what happens after the Olympics when the athletes are back home.Last week, the BBC aired a fascinating story about the post-Olympic homecoming of Sakshi Malik, the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal and one of only two Indians -- both women -- to win a medal in Rio.Whats remarkable is the sheer number of women who have turned out to greet Sakshi Malik, BBC journalist Sanjoy Majumder declared in a video documenting the event. Old women, middle-aged women, little girls as well.As he spoke, the camera panned to show dozens and dozens of women and girls watching as Malik, a young woman who broke stereotypes and overcame financial barriers to make it to Rio, is celebrated in an Indian state working to overcome barriers to eliminate female feticide and educate girls.The scene represents the true potential of the Olympic Games to achieve its lofty goal of promoting peace and prosperity. As more and more women compete -- and bring their communities and countries glory and pride while doing so -- the world will see exactly what women are capable of when theyre given the opportunity.Maybe in another 100 years the world will look back on the 2016 Olympics as another remarkable turning point, when Silva, Ledecky, Biles, Malik and thousands of other women who competed, returned home and changed history.Cathy Russell is the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Womens Issues. Tommy McDonald Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. Clayton Thorson Womens Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. http://www.theeaglesshoponline.com/Youth-desean-jackson-eagles-jersey/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Wilbert Montgomery Jersey . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Reggie White Jersey . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- With the San Francisco defense loaded up to stop Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles Rams running game, quarterback Case Keenum was unable to capitalize.With top overall draft pick Jared Goff watching as an inactive third-stringer, Keenum frequently threw off-target, had two interceptions and was unable to get the Rams offense moving at all in a 28-0 season-opening loss to the 49ers on Monday night.This team deserved better play from its quarterback and I intend on doing that, Keenum said. This is not going to define me. Obviously it was a big stage and would have been a lot of fun to win on Monday night to start the season. Its a long season. This is not us, offensively. This is not us.It better not be if the Rams have any hope about making their return to Los Angeles a successful one on the field. L.A. football fans waited more than 21 years for a team of their own to cheer for and now must wait at least another week for the first score.The Rams were held to 185 yards, 10 first downs, and failed to make a single trip into the red zone in a rough opener.That wasnt what we expected, certainly not what I expected for the first game back in L.A., coach Jeff Fisher said. We have some work to do obviously. Im very disappointed in the outcome.Fisher did say he is sticking for Keenum for now, even though he went just 17 for 35 for 130 yards and two interceptions. He said he briefly considered putting in backup Sean Mannion late in the game but decided to ride with Keenum to end this game and for at least the near future.Thats even with Goff waiting in the wings after the Rams gave up a boatload of draft picks to get the top pick in April and select Goff as their future franchise quarterback.This doesnt change anythinng as far as the quarterbacks are concerned, Fisher said.ddddddddddddurley was held to 47 yards on 17 carries and had no runs longer than 10 yards. The Rams couldnt back the Niners defense out of the box because Keenum was unable to threaten the Niners deep, relying mostly on short horizontal throws underneath the coverage.We have to stretch the field, said receiver Tavon Austin, who had 13 yards on four catches. We need to keep doing what we were doing. We were open a lot out there today. We just couldnt connect. Thats the main thing. Well connect on it.Even the Rams vaunted defensive front struggled at times with Carlos Hyde running for 88 yards and the Niners gaining 150 yards in all on the ground with three scores.That frustration boiled over when star defensive lineman Aaron Donald was ejected in the fourth quarter when he made contact with an official.The infraction came after Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree gave an extra push to Blaine Gabbert following a scramble. As players on both teams started jawing, Donald pushed a 49ers player and then made contact with an official. Donald was called for two personal fouls on the play and ejected.I just let emotions get the best of me, he said. Theres no excuses. I cant make mistakes like that and hurt my team.After preparing all offseason for this game, the Rams now have a short week to prepare for their real return to L.A. with their home opener next week against Seattle.Its embarrassing definitely for us to go out there and not put any points on the board, Gurley said. Its a long season. Were going to bounce back, shake this off and get ready for Sunday. ' ' '
