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. John Smith

    When Paula Radcliffe set her world record at the London Marathon 2003, she was the fastest British runner, male or female. Admittedly a few men of other nationalities did beat her but she came 15th overall. Her time of 2hr15min was the male male world record in about 1960.
