This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It doesn't "happen" to be separated by gender. It is because there are physical differences which lead to it naturally. At least in the sports where women wouldn't even qualify for a mens tournament with world record results.
Most sports have an open category, where women are free to compete. But they can't compete, though not for a lack of effort in their pursuit in a sport.
