運動是屬於仝人類的，亦是人類天生的權利，包括參與各項運動賽會。但對婦女來說，能被允許並獲得參與奧林匹克運動的權利，的確是經歷一段漫長又艱辛的心路歷程。本文旨擬先行探討婦女在古、今奧林匹克運動的發展歷程，並提出婦女在未來奧林匹克的可能發展方向，色括女子競賽項目和人數的不斷增多，兩性運動成績差異的縮小，女子職業運動將步男子職業項目後蓬勃發展及女子獎牌將成為制後兵家所爭之地等。職是之故，婦女在奧運會土的發展前景是樂觀的，地位和影響將更趨於重要。

The Olympics belong to the whole mankind and therefore it is the natural right of human beings to participate in various Olympic sports events. However， as far as women are concerned， that they are allowed to have obtained the right to participate in the Olympics has indeed resulted from a long and arduous process. This article intends to inquire into the developmental process of women's participation in the Olympics from ancient to modern times first， and then to put forward the potential development directions of women's future participation in the Olympics， including ceaseless increases in women's sports events and in the numbers of female participants， the narrowing gap between male and female athletic achievements， the trend that female professional athletics are following in the footsteps of male sports events to enjoy vigorous development， as welel as the prospect that medals for women will be up for grabs in the future. In view of these factors， the prospects of women's development in the Olympic Games are optimistic， and their status and influence will become more important than ever before.
