Todd Gallagher on Olympian Political Correctness

the women's Olympic record in the 100 meters, set in 1988 by superstar Florence Griffith-Joyner, is virtually identical to the U.S. record for 14-year-old boys — also set in 1988, by the less heralded Curtis Johnson. The winning time of 2008 women's gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser? Well over a tenth of a second slower than Johnson's.

Nor is the 100 meters an aberration. In sport after sport, evidence shows that the top female professional athletes in the world are on par with the best American 14- and 15-year-old boys. Nearly every female Olympic record in speed, strength, and endurance events falls between the records set by the best American 14- and 15-year-old boys

This is one of those facts that everybody in athletics already knows.  Non-athletic women sometimes seem to believe that the best women athletes can play with the boys, but I've never heard a serious woman athlete make that claim.
