    Short men should perform well if it was about lower point of gravity. Women having better static vision makes more sense but is it always like this or only on this Olympics we got to see women out performing?

      Women are slightly better than men in rifle shooting. Men are slightly better at pistol and skeet shooting. But this year looks like the women were slightly better in pistol and men slightly better in rifle

        if it exists the advantage in skeet shooting is small enough for women to win as skeet was a mixed event until in '92 a woman actually won gold and the shooting federation bigshots bruised their ego

          The committee made the decision in December 1991 and April 1992. The Olympics were in July 1992. 23/24 qualifiers were men. The winner at the time was surprisingly the woman. The women wanted to separate it for a better chance to win. Do that you will with that information and make your judgments then

        I wouldn’t use the word slightly in the game of precision cause that’s literally what counts to become medalist.

          In 10m pistol, men have historically scored higher than women. This year is not the norm. Using this olympic example is not sufficient to claim men wouldn’t medal in the event. Just like this year men scored higher in rifle, but historically women are better

          Which different protocols? Not a single commenter has clarified that yet.

      How do you not understand that the lower center of gravity in women means specifically that the majority of the weight is distributed in the hips and legs? A short man would still typically have an equal to higher center of gravity on average.

      It just seems like you’re trying to discount the center of gravity point by intentionally misrepresenting it. Comes off super disingenuous.
