What are you even looking at records from the middle ages for? Humans haven't changed that much since then lmao. All we have to do is look at records from today. And guess what? Across the board men perform at a way higher level in almost all sports and physical activities. What makes you think the reason for different divisions was sexism? if the woman could compete with the men society would let them. Especially nowadays, why don't you see men's vs woman's hockey on TV? Because it would be boring, the men would beat the woman everytime it wouldn't even be fair. This is a really hard pill for you to swallow isn't it?

And looking at you comment history it doesn't look like you have any personal experience being athletic in the slightest, let alone being near the top in a given sport. You are disabled and can't stand without sever pain. I have been an athlete my entire life and so have my sisters. Guess what? I can destroy every one of my sisters at every sport and it's not even close. And they aren't couch slobs, they play sports at a very high level, they just play against other woman. They know they don't stand a chance against the men. We're two very different things when it comes to physical ability.
