Oh. Wait. There’s a list of 11538 athletes here. 2/ https://www.topendsports.com/events/summer/images/all-rio-2016-athletes-excel.xlsx …
Handily broken down into various datasets here. 3/ https://www.topendsports.com/events/summer/science/anthropometry-2016.htm …
At 6ft/182cm, McKinnon is not just well above average for females, but across the entire pool. 4/pic.twitter.com/zqBDrvRKsu
McKinnon is above average for all athletes in all but four sports - handball, rowing, volleyball, basketball. 5/pic.twitter.com/lzbpGsS3JJ
Compared with just females, McKinnon is only shorter than average in basketball and volleyball, and by just 1cm. 6/pic.twitter.com/GtdiyofAub
The reason for pursuing this re: McKinnon’s height is because RM routinely ignores population means (averages) and focuses on using outliers within that population to undermine the importance of the mean. More on that later. 7/
Obvious point, of course, is what's an outlier for females isn't an outlier for males, therefore, outlier female performances are easily reachable by non-outlier males, & if you factor in outlier-males - or even males approaching outlier levels - elite female sport is fucked.
And this applies at every level. Brilliant women athlete coming 15th in Boston Marathon will be beaten by good, but not elite, male athlete.
Yes. RM acknowledges that the overlap is at the low end while the strongest/tallest/etc are all male.
