The Olympic Museum is showcasing the achievements of female icons of the Olympic movement in an exhibition. The exhibition features a tribute to New Zealands own first female Olympian Violet Walrond, who competed in the 1920 Antwerp Olympic Games. Olympic Museum director Charles Callis says, The Women in Sport exhibition features defining moments of female participation in Olympic sport and the administration of the NZOCs initiative to attain gender balance in sport governance. In the past 20 years the International Olympic Committee has worked especially hard to establish positive trends in the participation of women in the Olympic Movement. The Olympic Museum in Wellington was first opened in 1998 and has been in its Queens Wharf location for almost three years. Opening hours are Sunday-Friday, 10am-4pm.
