I am a big fan of mixed events because it put women literally on the same playing field as men. Having seen wheelchair rugby in person at the Paris Paralympics, I can tell you the women have no trouble keeping up with the men.
Thanks! No trouble keeping up for the female WR players, I absolutely agree. But we need to find a route to more women making the squads and getting game time at the Paras and other major tournaments than at present. It will be interesting to see how the new rules play out over the course of 2025
Loved the fact that the organisers got the Keely Klassic going and a huge success despite Keely having to pull out.
Maybe it me and my algorithms but I would never have know about the event until I read you pice last week, and I live in the world of sport...So more work to be done there
