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
This whole topic got me thinking about women in endurance sports. Something I find a little strange is how little you hear about women's cycling. The Tour de France is big news these days, but I hear nothing about any of the women's events. Maybe we just need a "female Lance Armstrong" to emerge?
It's also obvious that women aren't quite there yet in terms of challenging the elite men or else we'd be seeing women on some of the the Tour teams.
