That already exists. That’s the men’s category. There are no rules forbidding women from competing in men’s categories at Olympic events.
replyCorrect and it’s the same in many sports. Theres generally not “men’s golf” and “women’s golf” there’s just “golf” and “women’s golf.”
replyWomen are not excluded from golf tournaments, but the requirements to compete (primarily how far one hits the ball) are vastly different. Thats why both play the same golf course, just from different tee boxes.
Right but why not a specific carve out instead of a loop hole? If it's called "men's" the intention is clear.
replyIf it's called "mixed league" the intention is clear
I think they're trying to say that if there was a mixed league it would always end up being 100% men at the highest level. Like, mixed league basketball would almost certainly be just men at the highest level because of how the sport works.
replyIn the sports I competed in, the men's class was really an open class. (EDIT: Looking at past results, we didn't even have a "men's division". There was just a separate women's division) Anyone could compete in it. The women's classes were the only restricted classes.
replyThere are several sports where female physiology (skeletal structure, etc) has inherent advantages over male physiology where this may not be true, though.
