Through the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, 48. 38 of the women have competed in the Summer Olympics and 10 have competed in the Winter Olympics.
Gymnast Larissa Latynina of the Soviet Union has won the most medals with 18 (9 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze). Her 9 gold medals are also the most won by a woman Olympic athlete.
Women are now allowed to compete and there is a Marathon and there is winter Olympics and many more sports and no going naked. Ancient Olympic and Modern Olympic has a lots of events.
Considering women were not allowed to enter any Olympic sport for many many years, their training and experience would have been the same as a mans, and often more exacting. The longest race for women to enter for instance was 1500 metres in 1972, it was not until 1988 that women were allowed to run a marathon
more than 700
bt and many more.

Swimming, basketball and many more sports.
Yes , ski jumping is in Olympics, but not for women. It is the only event in the Olympics--summer or winter--that does not allow women. (The last event in the Olympic Summer Games to include women is boxing, which will be included in London 2012.) By 2014, the women will have had two World Championships and will have World Cup status. The hope is that the IOC will vote to allow the women into Sochi 2014 sometime in late 2010, which will finally make the Olympics gender equal, although men still have many more events than women in many sports. For example, in ski jumping, the men have three events--the K90, K120, and team event. If the women are voted in to Sochi 2014, they will only be approved for the K90.
