Sorry if this has already been posted but I notice that a female athlete has been really trying to become the first woman to achieve the 4 minute mile.
She had pacemakers, special clothes, special shoes, lots of training and support. Sadly she didn’t manage it.
Back when it was first done by a man he walked to the stadium as a warm up and had a fried breakfast on the way.

But there is no difference between men and women in sport.

Who's saying there's no difference?

The thing with sport is that it illustrates very nicely how different men and women are physically.

Faith is half the size of her pacers, she's going full gas, totally red lining and her team are maybe running at 70%.
