In 1967, Kathrine Switzer challenged marathon norms, registering as K.V. Switzer to break the male-exclusive Boston Marathon tradition. Despite facing resistance and attempts to remove her, Switzer's perseverance paved the way for women in sports.
Fast forward to the 1984 Olympics, exactly 40 years ago, where the Women's Marathon debuted—a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality.
