Professional track and field athlete and founder of Let Women Decathlon Jordan Gray shares her journey as a trailblazer breaking American records and the determination behind petitioning for gender equality in the world’s most prestigious sporting event, the Olympics.
Did you know that in the year 2023, only men can earn the title of World's Greatest Athlete?
Surprisingly, yes, it's true! And, with 30,000+ signatures on a petition for the International Olympic Committee, we are one step closer to seeing Olympic History made.
The Let Women Decathlon movement was founded by Team USA's Jordan Gray and she, alongside women across the globe, would like to see gender parity in the Olympic Games.
Will you join us and help women (alongside men) prepare to compete at the highest level?
Together we can make Olympic history!
"WOMEN HAVE BEEN SIDELINED FOR CENTURIES. WE'VE BEEN SAID TO BE INCAPABLE OF OWNING PROPERTY, RUNNING A MARATHON, FULL-COURT BASKETBALL, POLE VAULTING, RUNNING A MILE, HOLDING OFFICE, AND EVEN VOTING. WE'VE COME SO FAR, AND YET HERE WE ARE TRYING TO CLEAR YET ANOTHER HURDLE...IN THE YEAR 2023."
- JORDAN GRAY, TEAM USA AND LWD FOUNDER
