Toni,

It's not how it ends, it's the principle.

Equal performance equal pay. Tell that to the men's tennis players. I doubt even Serena would make the top 1000 males and she has been a mile ahead of her counterparts.

runner,

Have you ever watched mixed doubles?

I don't know what it says about me, but in all my favourite sports women do compete on equal terms together.

Equestrian, where our gold medal winning teams have usually had female members.

Sailing, where women often compete on equal terms, although women's libbers have managed to introduce a number of female only classes.

Motor sport, where some females have competed on equal terms, sometimes very successfully. Pat Moss was almost as famous as her brother Stirling.

Of course I think it is time we introduced mixed tiddlywinks as an Olympic sport. This would be better than having the ladies all sweaty & smelly at the end of a game.

My 10 year old grand son recently asked his mother, at the end of a 4 day school holiday riding camp, how come there are so many girls horse riding, & why they were all so pretty. If that doesn't get young men interested in equestrian pursuits, nothing will.

Hey, this little girl took on the boys at Daytona on super bikes and beat them.

Her name Elana Myers. Not exactly net ball or bowls
