I'm quite sure there are still more males than females at the Olympics. This is like in 2012 where they claimed that all nations had a female athlete when in reality the final 3 nations which never had a female entered one.

Those are compensated by men's football, water polo and Greco-Roman wrestling.

 

What causes there to be more men than women is athletics and swimming

The IOC's stated goal is 5,250 of each... they're getting close. In Tokyo there were only 501 more males... in Rio is was 1,120... 20 years ago it was almost 2,000

We'll see what the final numbers are, but I bet they're within 100-200
