Bruce Jenner’s 1976 time in the 400 meters — as part of the 10-event decathlon — is still faster than the women’s individual world record for 400 meters specialists.
And don't get me wrong: there are women who are faster, stronger, smarter, tougher than me, and I'm an athletic male. But anyone who's done BJJ knows they can get their butt kicked by a more technically proficient woman. And there are women with 500+ lb deadlifts, great endurance athletes, etc.
Fact of the matter stands: in competition, a male will always have a huge advantage. It's not fair to women competitors.
An elite high school boy is faster than an Olympia gold medal winning, world record setting, woman.

Yeah, true.

Now that Bruce is no longer Bruce, methinks he should claim the women’s record, based on his time in 1976.
