    On the one hand, it probably shows they have enough women interested to give two gendered medals in that sport.

    On the other, society needed a sport men could lose to women at, and the IOC fucked up

      I think they went from mixed -> men + women -> mixed + women?? It's confusing. Gender politics in professional sports is deeply unserious.

        Mixed + women is the reasonable way to go. You have a women’s league but if a woman wants to challenge men she can go for it. Basically just giving women multiple options.
