To quote them:

> at this distance.

~~All the distances in those tables are significantly longer than the 50k this article was about.~~

Edit: Ah, I missed it due to the weird order - but my original point stands, there is no point in ignoring part of someone's comment when trying to rebut them.

They are still slower... but the gap is a little more narrow. Men will definitely have an edge in shorter distances.

Interestingly, the 100m record difference is about 10%, which is roughly the same as the gap in the ultramarathon records (and in the record mile time). So the difference is fairly consistent across distances.

I don't think it's quite that close -- there may be sample size/participation factors involved here. For example, the top US women seems to be competitive with the top ~10 US men, which in more testosterone-dominant sports would never happen.

No? The link geargrinder posted literally also has a 50 kilometer table.

Erk, I missed it scrolling down (the distances are in a pretty random order)

Do you people have bad eyesight or something. This whole thread is weird.
