Haven’t read the report fully yet, but hopefully this is promising.

@EmbarrassingAdmissions - great, thank you. I obviously need my eyesight checking as I didn’t clock that thread when I scrolled.

So men have a sporting advantage over women. Who would have guessed.
In other news, bears shit in the woods and the Pope comes out as Catholic.
Any other statements of the bleeding obvious discovered today?!

I thought women wanted equality? Why aren’t all sports mixed these days so we men can play on any team?

Equality of opportunity, darling. Not sameness. They’re different things.

HTH

@CBUK2K2 equality recognises difference. In sport where performance is measured biological differences matter and women's sport was created to make sure women could compete safely and fairly.

Although I don't know why I'm even bothering to say this as you are clearly just on all these threads to throw out random statements and hope someone bites.

Cbuk2k2 - I guess it’s a similar reason why floyd mayweather wouldn’t be fighting Tyson fury. Or why we have different Paralympic classifications. Or why there is lightweight rowing as a category or age classification in some (non Olympic) events.
