(The AAU was sued for discrimination once they added 10-minutes to the ladies’s occasions!).
As marathons grew in measurement and the standard of the ladies’s fields elevated, it was felt that the ladies deserved their very own time within the highlight. It additionally eradicated the notion that ladies had been being unfairly paced by males when the 2 genders competed collectively.
