With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes.
Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs
vs.
Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King.
My money rests on the female.

I went looking for this forum because while I wa in DC this past weekend, I "ran" into a woman who used to always say that some day a woman, very soon, a woman would run a marathon faster than a man. She used to say this in the mid 1980s. It hasn't happened.
Now I'm even more sure that it won't. I don't think that a woman will ever beat a man at the same distance inthe same age group ( except maybe in really young age group swimmign).
