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
