But, the solution to that -- not having any sex or gender based separation is that (with current Olympic sports) pretty much every event would be won by a man, and in almost every category women wouldn't even make the finals, so they wouldn't even show up on TV.

Just find another thing to differentiate on. Lung capacity. Muscle density. The things that actually matter.

Using sex just approximates those anyway.

So... the "open" class would be all men, because they naturally have higher muscle density, and the "restricted" class would be half men because some men can meet that restricted standard?

Again, what's the point of having the women's events? I would have thought it was allowing women to win medals by not having to compete against men.
