About this Quote

In this quote, Debbie Meyer, a previous Olympic swimmer, reviews the absence of opportunities for ladies in sports during her time. She discusses that there were no college scholarships readily available for ladies, which restricted their ability to continue completing at a high level. Meyer believes that if these opportunities had been offered, she may have remained on for two more Olympics. This highlights the inequality and barriers that women faced in the sports world throughout that time. Nevertheless, she likewise acknowledges the development that has been made, as she acknowledges that females now have more chances and support in pursuing their athletic dreams.
