Tennis, golf, skiing, luge, bobsled, speed-skating, track & field, basketball etc. etc.

Just because men are better than women at sports (in most cases due to strength and speed, as Vlad pointed out earlier) doesn't mean that women shouldn't compete in sports. Or that women's sports shouldn't be part of the Olympics.

And it doesn't really mean their accomplishments are less worthwhile when they do achieve success in their respective sports.
I've run out of thanks - so.....thanks!
