Mumbai, July 27 Actress Jessica Alba, who is known for her roles in 'Entourage', 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For', and 'Never Been Kissed', is celebrating the equal participation of male and female athletes at the ongoing Paris Olympics.

The actress took to Instagram and highlighted that the Paris Olympics is the first in history to achieve numerical gender parity, with an equal number of male and female athletes participating.

The post read: “Paris will be the first Olympics in history to achieve numerical gender parity with the same number of male and female athletes participating.”

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on July 26 in Paris.

The ceremony featured an artistic programme showcasing French culture, a parade of athletes, and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron.

French President Emmanuel Macron declared the Games open, marking the formal beginning of competitions for the next 16 days.

In addition, Jessica recently advocated for more sleep for women, sharing a study on her Instagram stories that suggests women need an extra 20 minutes of sleep for their bodies to function at their full potential.

According to the study, women need an additional 20 minutes of sleep because their brains are constantly engaged in decision-making, planning, and other “invisible labour.”
