THERE IS ONLY ONE OLYMPIC EVENT THAT CROWNS THE WORLD’S GREATEST ATHLETE…
AND WOMEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMPETE BECAUSE OF THEIR GENDER.
"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 + Founder LEt Women decathlon
INEQUALITY
THE BIGGEST HURDLE IS
WE KNOW IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE BUT EVEN TODAY, THERE IS NO WOMEN’S DECATHLON IN THE OLYMPICS. LET’S CHANGE THAT.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE OLYMPIC HISTORY
Help us create global change and a better future for this generation of women in sports. LWD Founder, Jordan Gray, holds the highest decathlon score of any woman currently active in the sport. She is also the American Record Holder and holds the second-highest score ever achieved by a woman...in the world. As a woman competing in a male-dominated sport, Jordan, and hundreds of other dedicated female decathletes inspire so many young girls to take on challenges in all areas of life. It’s time for gender EQUALITY in all sports.
