"One article suggested ending the practice of segregating men and women into separate competitions."

I'm sorry that's just retarded. You have to separate them. Just as you have to have weight classes for certain types of sports. Women (as a group) will never be able to run as fast as men (as a group) because men have bigger lungs. Bigger lungs means more oxygen going to muscles which translates to a higher level of performance. It's not about sexism it's about physiology.

Which is why proper classification for this runner is being questioned.
