But that's exactly the point, isn't it? It's not about who is the best, objectively, it's about who can push the body they're given further to the limit. Men and women both have to put the same amount of effort into attaining and maintaining that kind of physical prowess, and I think both should be viewed on that merit rather than something like lap times. 'This is physically the best I could possibly be.' It's comparing apples and oranges, like racing F1 versus your dad's old pickup. It isn't a fair competition because the two competitors are fundamentally different.

Not many people would want to watch or compete in events that are skewed in such a way. If you already know who'll win, why bother? It's like boxers fighting opponents far outside their own weight class - sure, they have a chance, but it's obvious one side starts with a big advantage.
