Just saw the Japanese male athlete absolutely storm past the best female 400m sprinters. It's really interesting to watch this as an event (new I think?) and can't help think that men racing against women on fair terms (two of each in a team) will help shine a spotlight on the physical differences.

No need to add this to world champs.

The Japanese were the only team out of 16 that didn't opt for a 'girl sandwich' (Man-Woman-Woman-Man)

As Michael Johnson has just said, maybe they shouldn't get to choose their running order.

We have also seen the Womens 800m minus the three DSD athletes who previously came 1-2-3.
