It's certainly a ballsy move as it's not the most inclusive of sports, and it's likely to restrict who'll take him in the future.

Fair play to him - certainly a brave thing to do. Bloody tragic It's seen seen as brave though.

The British skydiving championships 4-person team event was won last time by NFTO, an all-female team competing absolutely equally with all-male and mixed-gender teams.

Long range rifle shooting.

This woman demonstrates off hand shooting a .22 rifle at 300 yards. Her target, an egg. Mad Skills.

In fact it has been argued that women make better long range shooters than men. Margaret Thompson Murdock entered the 1976 Olympics and competed against the men, she tied against her male teammate but the judges awarded him the gold and her the silver, since then the event had been gender split.
