I don't know any of those names except Katey ledecky.

My niece is a great sport and competes mostly against herself and works on beating her times. I don't even know how she'd feel about something like that. She's a great kid and she'd probably grin and bear it.

But I think it'd be horse shit if she had to. We separated men and women's sports for a reason. We dont let 20 year olds compete in little league. We don't let Olympians use performance enhancing drugs. Competition and sport needs some bounds for fair play.

Ensuring a level playing field is crucial, acknowledging natural talents and physical differences, while drawing a line at artificial or external enhancements that could skew competition. It's about maintaining the spirit of fairness and respect in sport, so everyone has the opportunity to compete and excel based on their natural abilities and dedication.
