By GlobalDataThe number of female athletes competing at events within the GSI scope of research increased again in 2016. The 50 mixed-gender events analysed experienced a 3-per-cent increase in the number of female athletes competing, compared with events analysed in 2015. At the Olympic Games in Rio 5,059 female athletes participated, the highest ever in an Olympic Games. The 2016 edition of the World Synchronized Skating Championships had the highest percentage of female participation at 96.3 per cent.
A total of 43,164 athletes competed across 70 events studied in this year’s GSI dataset. 55.2 per cent of athletes competed in five multisport games, with the 61 world championships accounting for 42.2 per cent of athletes, while the remaining 2.6 per cent of athletes competed across four continental championships.
More than 86 per cent of these athletes (37,242) represented overseas nations at competitions. Attracting a high number of overseas competitors can be an important factor for cities when deciding to bid for and host sporting events, in large part because of the potential tourism benefits for the host city.
This year’s report takes in four years of analysis from 2013 through to 2016, including a specific focus on the events of 2016 across a range of topics, including; Event Hosting and Bidding, Economic Impact, Sport Tourism, Sporting Impact and Event Analysis.
