Back in 2009, USA Swimming shelved a campaign to replace the 800m with 1500m out of respect for Adlington and the 2012 hosts after the swimmer made it clear that she would want the chance to defend her 800m crown at home. But as the clock stops on August 3, Americans will press the IOC to call time on "gender inequality" in the pool in favour of bringing the race schedule for men and women in line for the first time since the fairer sex made its swimming debut at Stockholm in 1912.
Lots of arenas host both basketball and hockey, so they must put the basketball floor on top of the ice. You could argue that in these cases basketball is played on ice!
LOL both posts! Although basketball players on ice skates going for a slam dunk--now that would get some ratings!
When I started this thread, I thought it might barrel out of control, given this forum's history on the topic of gender equity. Never did I think that we'd end up at "The Cutting Edge." The applause is for the sheer randomality of this outcome: :applaud:

Bonus points for spinning during the dunk? I'd love to see a triple salchow slam dunk.
