No what I am thinking is that the top tier of male athletes is probably significantly heavier than the top tier of female athletes, probably there is a height difference too. I might be wrong but it seems if the goal is just to make sure people competing against each other are within the same tiers of athletics, there may be other ways to do that. But I have not really done any research on how the top men under x pounds compare to the top woman under x pounds, so their performance might not be comparable
