Hi.
I did not get the 200/200 from Wiki. I got it from another site,
But they may have taken it friom Wiki. Which is very likely.
It was still an incredible feat irrespective of the scores.
But it was not the men who got her thrown out of the Olympics
because they got beat by a woman. It was the reverse.
The thinking appears to have run along the lines of;
If women are so good at shooting perhaps they should have their
own shooting events.
I did not find any protest from the men because a woman took part
nor did I read anything that mentioned this must never happen again.
Men always appear to be in no win situations on this ground.
No matter what we say about a female competitor in any sport,
we are either being patronising or sexist.
Originally posted by greenpawn34There are women's shooting events, and open.

In our local gun club, my mother sometimes beats my father. They don't tell me when my Dad wins, but my mother likes to brag about her victories. It's been my Dad's hobby since the early 1940s; my mother took up the guns to spend time with him.

The post that was quoted here has been removedmmm, i dunno Dutchess, the general public are a little slow on the uptake, i mean, what sounds more impressive, Fide 2200, or women's international master, or Fide 2400 or women's Grandmaster, or in the case of Mrs Kosteniuk, World Champion.
