It's rare for mixed matches to be permitted. Many sports have a gender split where none is warranted through physical advantages. It's significant then not because it is unusual, but because the match itself is unusual.
It's nice to see some semblance of equality finally arrive where, unlike athletics or boxing, there is no reasonable basis to separate genders.

If nothing else, her results are a useful data point; that making a sport mixed really does equalise the standard for both genders (assuming it's not a sport dependent on physical size and strength.) This should encourage similar sports to do the same.
