Today Charlotte DuJardin won her sixth Olympic medal making her the most decorated female British athlete.
What is remarkable about this is that she competes in one of the few sports where men and women compete on equal terms.
Today for the individual dressage final the podium was full of women. The highest placed man was sixth. The top two horses were female too.
In the team dressage of 9 riders making up the three medal winning teams only two were men. The gold winning team was all female.
Also on the podium was the German Isabell Werth who won an incredible 11th Olympic medal from six games.
A great day for women in sport!
Feel free to add details of other female Olympians who deserve a big feminist cheer!
