The three values of Olympism are excellence, respect and friendship. To honour these, the host country France must lift bans on wearing hijabs in sports.
Religions in general are not a symbol but actual oppression and not just women but people in general.
That said, have you ever seen anyone at the olympics wearing a cross? I don’t recall. Definitely not as visible as a hijab though. Likely already banned for safety reasons (that’s definitely a thing for football, not sure about other sports).
