I see no reason to separate men and women in archery. There's no physical advantage for men over women as far as I can tell. -- nm

Twice as many winners, Krusty. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 07:16 1
- Add a third category where everyone competes and you get even more medals. Though, I did read they instituted a cap on the number of athletes - Krusty Aug 2, 07:37
Maybe the split was introduced to encourage participation and now they just keep it out of tradition. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 2, 07:04 1
- I can see that being a reason. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 07:17
I propose three classes of athletes by testosterone level, rather than two by "gender." Class 1, testosterone 1-100. Class 2, 101-500. Class 3, 501+ -- nm - mara Aug 2, 06:53 2

Pull of the bow. Makes a huge difference. -- nm - VMan Aug 2, 06:53
Disagree. Because then when or where do you draw the line. - Jovian Aug 2, 06:49 9
- To be fair, if the event was gender neutral, complaints about the competitor's gender would be moot. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 2, 06:58 8
  - No they wouldnt, because it would have gone from gender defined to none at all. And thus people would bitch about it until the end of time. - Jovian Aug 2, 07:03 7
    - We have many mixed events where they team up but only equestrian has men and women competing against each other. - Krusty Aug 2, 07:26 5
      - I'm a better rider than you. -- nm - Arwen to Aragorn Aug 2, 07:31 2
        
        Well you know I like you on top anyway. - Aragorn to Arwen Aug 2, 07:33 1

      - Im just saying if its already separated, keep it that way. Its not worth the outrage. Let women archers compete for gold and let men archers compete - Jovian Aug 2, 07:29 1
        
        I think they should add a mixed event for some where they directly compete. More medals for everyone! - Krusty Aug 2, 07:35
    - I mean just dont even get it. Let women had their comps and rewards and let men have their comps and rewards. It is not rocket science. -- nm - Jovian Aug 2, 07:05
Same answer I got when I said this about trap shooting: holding the weight of the tool? -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 2, 06:47 1
- Yeah, that's another one and that excuse is weak when their scores are the same. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 06:49
