[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The money explanation doesn't make sense. Brazil has 277 athletes and it isn't a rich country. India has plenty of middle class and rich people. And even Latin American teams have plenty of women participating. Not sure who thinks it is only men playing soccer. Mexico has women participating in the following Olympic sports: boxing, kayaking, cycling, diving, gymnastics, golf, judo, pentathlon, rowing, sailing, table tennis, tae-kwon-do, triathlon, and weight lifting . [/quote] Brazil is actually a pretty wealthy country. 8th or 9th in terms of GDP size. Moreover, fitness, health and sports are huge in BRazil. And they revere their women athletes. [/quote]
