For the first time in Olympics history, the Games have the same number of men and women competing.

It has taken a long time for the world-famous event to hit this milestone. But why is it significant and what does this mean for the future of women's sports more broadly?

In this first episode of The New Rules, we go behind-the-scenes with athletes, industry executives and commentators to find out.

This is The New Rules, a podcast by Women's Agenda, examining the big business of women's sport.

The New Rules is produced by Agenda Media, publisher of Women's Agenda.
