I find mixed relays really difficult to follow and I don't know if mixed team events like in judo really add that much. I do enjoy mixed doubles in badminton (haven't seen the tennis or table tennis variants) though!

Triathlon Relay and Archery competition are the only 2 "mixed gender" events that makes sense to me...

 

so, I picked those 2 options...

 

I know that mixed doubles in racket sports have a long tradition, but still I'm definitely not a fan, as I don't think men and women can/should play a "phisical" game directly against each other...

 

the Judo, Swimming and Athletics farce...well, I hope they get cancelled as soon as possible...

? it's 2021. While T-T doesn't have huge difference in men and women competing together,Tennis usually have women at the nets. Badminton had the same until Sapsiree Taerattetenachai broke the wrong concept ( she plays at the back with huge smashes which even the men find it hard to return and her partner is at net). Now we see more and more of mixed doubles having switching partners net and at the back in mixed doubles badminton, really making it a must watch.

Nobody will ever convince me that men and women have comparable physical skills on average...in 1500, in 2021, in 2250...

 

that's why they shouldn't compete against each other, even in sports with a net separating them and not having a true physical contact between them...

 

there could always be very few exceptions (which normally are used to justify the existence of that specific event), but normally women just don't have the same strenght, speed and endurance of an equally trained man...

 

that's why they shouldn't compete against each other, not for some obscure or antiquate reason...that must be clear...

 

p.s. not saying that sometimes it might be fun to watch, but still, I don't think it's a good thing to have that kind of (normally unbalanced towards the male side) events...

In mixed doubles the imbalance is not a bug, it’s a feature. A lot of the strategy revolves around it.

    • There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
    • true, but was expecting India to get troubles from Australia, not from New Zealand, and specially not by being bowled out. Makes the group phase interesting though 
    • The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.
