Will a female athlete ever be considered the best athlete?

Question

The winner of the Men's 100 meters in the olympics is considered the fastest human alive while the winner of the Women's 100 meters is considered the fastest woman alive.

Will a female athlete/team ever be recognized as the best or will they always have the 'best female' tag attached to their achievement?

If so/if not which sport can/will be the most likely candidate to crown a female as the best? (including all men as competitors)

Answer 1

well the winner of the best male runner is crowned BEST MALE RUNNER (same with female ) so yea

Answer 2

Males are taged the best because they are stronger, faster because that is how they are built. It is unlikely that a female will be crowned the best in any sport, but I was thinking of netball.

Answer 3

The female race is more flexable,

So sports like Gymnastics are the things we do great in.

Females are just as capable as men in other sports too though, who knows if we'll ever be reccognized for being the best.

Answer 4

i totally agree w/ u, but it depends.  if the fastest man was faster than the fatest woman, then he really wasw the fastest human.......whoevrs fastest is fastest........the sport i think most likely 2 call a female best is soccer

Answer 5

Not in sports that both men and women compete.  

Answer 6

well if she runs faster than the guy, than yes

Answer 7

never will a female be the best, becuse women have like....a limit....and thats as good as they can get, men!!! men will always b better and better and better

Answer 8

She will be if she's really the best. The man was probably considered the fastest HUMAN and she the fastest woman because he was fastest in terms of both women and men, and she was just a little slower than him. If that's not the case, then it's just screwed up and old-fashioned, or someone just wrote those facts down without thinking of the implications.

Answer 9

when the best female athlete can beat the best male athlete in the same sport or when the ACLU or gloria alred sues to get it changed

Answer 10

Well I suppose since the races are separated by girls and boys they might always have the tag. But if they were to race against each other I think the fastest one would be the one to be crowned "the best".
