New opportunities have open to competitive female cyclists. A sports milestone has been made with women being competitors for the first time. The cycling race has been around 1896. That is a total of 125 years with no women's division in existence. The race track is know for its treacherous terrain. The race held on the French town of Roubaix is known for being muddy and having cobbled farm tracks. The race can be very physically demanding. The cyclists will be going on 160 km course. Strength is not the only factor to success, however. Skill is required to handle changes in conditions. Seeing as this is the first women's competition, who could win remains a mystery. The addition of the women's Paris Roubaix demonstrates there is a rise in women's sports competition. The next few decades will most likely see more women competing in various sports. Progress may be slow, but there is not shortage of sports talent among women. The Paris Roubaix will take place on Sunday. Previously, there were plans to have the race take place in 2020, but was postponed due to Covid-19 concerns.
