Reminds me of when Zhang Shan won the Olympics' skeet shooting category and then the Olympics barred women from competing against men.

yeah I was under the impression the mens was supposed to be unlimited and the womens were to allow for more female representation. I had no idea they barred a woman from competing in the mens. some bs there.

Ah, so they are concerned the boys will exhibit poor sportsmanship. Yes, yes, then let's punish the girls /s It will show them how it is in life I suppose 😔
