Sporting authorities in France are under pressure over their decision not to overturn a ban on athletes competing with hijabs ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Amnesty International blasted the policy, claiming it exposes France’s “discriminatory hypocrisy”.

Olympic organisers insist the upcoming games are pulling all the stops to make it an inclusive event, previously stating: “The 2024 Paris Olympics will make history by achieving numerical gender parity on the field of play, ensuring equal representation of male and female athletes.

“It's a monumental moment that symbolises progress, equality and a steadfast commitment to inclusion at the largest sporting event in the world.”
