The Washington Post has an Editorial today commenting about Ledecky's 200-400-800-1500 sweep last week but also about the lack of the women's 1500 in the Olympics:

Pretty cool for the sport of swimming and the Olympic events to get that kind of publicity outside of the Sports page!

in that case shouldnt women use the same tee in golf?
or why not the same time standard cuts for swimming/track?
use the same weight shotput or discus or javlin or hammer.
These are different cases. Women use different tees because they can't hit a golf ball as far. Different cuts because they can't swim or run as fast as men. However, women CAN play five sets of tennis just as well as men can.
