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

Agreed, which is why I don't much care for events where men and women compete against each other head-to-head (like in athletics). They often come across comical and are just insanely hard to follow,

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...

      Summer Olympic Games Brisbane 2032 News

      By dullard · Posted

      The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Early Qualification Predictions

      By TeamGB · Posted

      - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
