I suppose we do have them, in small pockets - the UCI world championships just happened, they had a mixed gender team TT. https://worlds.yorkshire.com/the-races/team-time-trial-mixed-relay/ …

What I want to see most is mixed gender fighting. Closely followed by mixed athletics and mixed sportsball. The increased challenge will really up the women’s game. In fighting especially the top athletes have no one to fight

Cool thought, but I still think it's a horrible idea. Are you into fighting? But if people want to fight in an open gender class, then fair enough, have at it. Gabi Garcia would do great in an open gender class, but also she is juiced up to the eyeballs.

Clarification: “into fighting” meaning you enjoy watching/following fights, not that you do fight/practice MA? (Wasn’t sure, but I thought
@misen__ inferred the latter?) or have you taken up fighting?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I just asked her if she’d ever do an open gender division and she said “only maybe if the guys where 20 lbs lighter than me to compensate for strength, otherwise I’d get merc’d. No, probably not, I get my ass handed to me by guys enough already”

Women’s combat sports are really a grassroots effort by women to get other women competing so they can carve out a space for themselves. It’s super fucked up that ADCC only had 2 women’s weight divisions but this is the type of stuff they’re fighting for - not diluting the pool.

Agreed, but don’t think this necessarily holds for the very top level. The top women in the world would like to know what rank they are as top human in the world. Sure there would be way more men at the top, but a female athlete would like to say “I’m ranked 20th in the world”

Same for World Cup football. Hardly any women would be in the premiership, but some would. Right now the world teams are missing out on a top player by not allowing women.
