When did women first run in track and field at the Olympics?

Answer 1

In the Ancient Olympics, women were not allowed to play at all, and the only way to "compete" in a sense, was to enter horses in an equestrian competition. Women participated first in 1900 Paris Games and could play lawn tennis and Golf. Athletics and gymnastics were available to women in 1928. In 2012, this year, women boxing was allowed, so now there are no sports that don't allow women.

Answer 2

That was the 1928 Summer Games in Amsterdam. Women's events were the 100 meter dash, 800 meter run, 4x100 meter relay, discus throw, and high jump.
