I know what you're trying to argue here, but look at an athlete like Caster Semenya. She ran the 800m in something like 1:54, which for women is great. The men are running that around 1:45 (with the record being another 4-5 seconds faster still). Like it's not even close. And someone mentioned a similar discrepancy with regard to the 100m earlier as well. I read the piece you posted earlier that suggests there is no reason and maybe theoretically men and women are the same and should compete. But in reality there is there actual evidence of this being the case?
