No girls allowed!


Im sure you've heard or seen this before. Well in the olden days no Women were allowed to compete in the Olympics also they weren't even allowed to watch the games. In my opinion I think this isn't a fair rule because just because we are a different gender ten you does not mean that we can't do what boys can do. What I mean is that girls can do just as much as boys as long as we put our mind to it.
