Khelif and another boxer, featherweight Lin Yu-Ting of Chinese Taipei, have been fighting under a cloud in France after the Algerian’s opening victory over Angela Carini, who quit after 46 seconds.
You see how when you demand orange not exist, and that’s apparently “good enough” for you, that it doesn’t represent reality?
I am saying that it’s better to have 10 corner cases that can be dealt with than 2000 corner cases.
It’s often the way sports are designed that keep women out intentionally
I am really curious how you would design running in a way that having stronger muscle doesn’t help, or combat sports in a way that power doesn’t help etc. Also, women have their own category with almost in all cases same rules. How does this keep women out?
hmm don’t be so confident about that.
Go check all time-trial based sports, let me know if any women would have won anything.
Øyvind Sandbakk, a professor of sports science at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the director of the Norwegian School of Elite Sports (NTG), has found together with colleagues that the gaps in the average performance between elite female and male athletes have tended to plateau at around 8–12% difference in world-record results in favour of men. The gap can be significantly smaller for ultra-endurance swimming and larger for sports involving substantial upper-body strength, the study found.
There isn’t a clear linear relationship between testosterone levels and performance, says Mertens, a journalist focusing on sports and gender. “In fact, a lot of very elite male athletes have pretty low testosterone levels overall on average.” One endocrinology study found low testosterone concentrations in one-quarter of men competing in 12 of the 15 Olympic sports analysed. And Mertens says even women with hyperandrogenism, who can have testosterone levels that reach typical male ranges, don’t have the same level of performance as men.
I give up. You have tons of data available that you can still compare from Olympic games that just happened. I specifically didn’t mention “every sport ever invented”, but I mentioned “most sports” and you quote something that is supposed to prove…what? Lol
Nevermind.
Continue living in a fantasy world in which Phelps swims slower than Ledecky (at 15, but who cares?!), because denying reality is a great way to approach problems.
