Personal best time at competing distance.

  That would be extremely easy to game. It has to be something that's near-impossible to cheat, such as height, length of leg, or a particular genetic marker.

  How would this work? Some Olympic distances are: -Sprints (100m, 200m, 400m), -Middle distance (800m, 1500m) -Long distance (3000m Steeplechase, 5000m, 10,000m) -Hurdles (110/100m, 400m) -Relays (4x100m, 4x400m) Men would dominate every distance, you'd have no women competing. More cynically I'd point out that all high-level athletics are really television shows and the audience (deservedly) wants women's sports. To me the solution is a new intersex category.
