The International Olympic Committee billed the 2024 Paris Olympics as the first Games with "full gender parity on the field of play."

And Marissa Naylor talks about representing Canada at the International Bowling Federation World Championships in Hong Kong, her journey to Team Canada, training highlights and her career achievements, including six consecutive awards as Manitoba's female bowler of the year.
