At the Tokyo Olympics women athletes are saying "enough."
Whether it's Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka or the Norwegian women's beach handball team, women athletes are competing in record numbers, rejecting sexist policies and a culture of silence many no longer view as the price of competition.
"I think they are clear examples of female athletes taking agency and telling the sport, telling the public, telling business interests that their well-being is the most important thing, and that is really transformative," says Elizabeth Daniels, a psychology professor at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs who studies women's sexualization in sports.
