Sean Rapaport of South Africa and Irene Presenqui of Argentina made history after they became the first mixed-gender umpires in the history of Olympic hockey. Paris Olympic Games 2024 is the very first gender-equal Olympic Games and mixed-gender umpires in hockey seem a timely move. In hockey games outside the Olympics, this mixed-gender umpiring is already prominent. The 2024 Paris Olympics has made all genders seem equal and this initiative it shows the importance of equality in not only hockey but other sports as well.
