It always seems like female runners, were slower than male runners. In most world-class sports. Is that right?
Yes, historically female athletes have been slower than male athletes in world-class sports, although there are some female athletes that have managed to reach the same level of performance as their male counterparts.
Yes, that is generally true. Throughout most of human history, women have been treated as second class citizens and denied equal access to resources and opportunities, including access to sports and sports training. As a result, women typically receive lower levels of athletic and physical education than men, and experience fewer opportunities to compete in competitive sports. Consequently, male athletes tend to have much better performance than female athletes in world-class competitions. Despite improvements in recent decades, there is still an immense gender gap in sports performance and the representation of women in top level competitive sports.
