How to Create a Level Playing Field

Further to this post, here’s an explanation as to how ski jumpers are handicapped to take account of their weight. It seems to me that using such rules it would be easy to have men and women in the same competition.

Interestingly the rules were introduced to stop athletes from going on unhealthy diets in search of better performance. That’s a much more sensible approach than forcing athletes to undergo potentially harmful drug treatments in order to overcome a perceived advantage, as is proposed for intersex women.
