SEXISM IN ELITE SPORTS

  • A woman cyclist caught up with the men and they made her stop during the race
    • In Belgium
    • Only gave them 10 minute head start
  • She wound up finishing 74th because they made her stop when she was leading to give the men more room, and she lost her momentum
  • At the end of the day, while we have made progress, there is still some unfairness in Ultra Sports
  • When women got as good as men at double trap, Olympics was going to cut out the women’s event
    • Olympics committee kept saying no, but had so much pressure that they brought it out
      • However, they brought it down to 160 while men were shooting 200
  • Marathons do this, too
    • Send off elite women x number of minutes before the men
    • If you catch up to the women there’s a money grab

  • People can benefit from being fat adapted if they then are forced to fast
  • For example, people on Survivor should get fat adapted before going on the show
  • The tiny bit of rice won’t throw you out of ketosis, especially if you parcel it out over the day
  • These people go into ketosis eventually anyway, but better to start in ketosis so you don’t deal with keto flu on the island
  • Electrolytes are a lot harder
