Not really relevant, Boris.
A thing they do (or did) in France which I like is they call men and women at the same time, so e.g. all the M/W45 medalists end up on the podium together. It goes twice as fast and there's good matchmaking among the younger competitors and s bit of swinging among the elders...
Wow, if we combined M/W and used 10-year age groups we'd almost cut down to 1/4 the time. That would be awesome++.
Thats what we did at GLOF Cristina. ;-)
