The 2012 London Olympics are about to kick off in just a mere matter of days! I don’t know if you’re excited, but I certainly am. And another thing that’s really exciting? For the first time ever, the U.S. Olympic team will have more women than men. Find out more in today’s HER Daily Dose!

The United States Olympic Committee recently released its official roster and for the first time, women athletes will outnumber men. Of the 530 athletes representing America in the upcoming London games, 269 are female while 261 are male.

Some are saying the female majority is a true testament to the impact of Title IX, the law that increased opportunities for women in sports, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this year.

No doubt women have come a long way in so many areas, including sports.

So what do you think about the female majority in the Olympic Games this year and what are you most looking forward to watching? Leave your comments below and join me here at EmpowHER.com every weekday for more on women’s health.

It's exciting to think of how far women have come in sports. I'm sorry you interpreted this video negatively. I hope you enjoy watching the London games!

Because having more inferior athletes is always exciting. The Olympics, which now means to you, not celebrating the world's greatest athletes and competition, but number counting. Hooray for progress.
