Washington Post Editorial - Ledecky - Women's 1500 Free

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: http://wapo.st/1MZ8Nw6 Pretty cool for the sport of swimming and the Olympic events to get that kind of publicity outside of the Sports page!

  • 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. you make no sense kirk. playing as long but yet not as strong doesnt it take strength and endurance to play as long? so what if the shotput now weighs more...reset and see who holds the new wr! start from the same tee and take 1 more stroke you seem ok with swimming the same 1500 distance but almost getting lapped doing it! (ie yang vs ledekey)
