Man Named 'Tiffany' Is Dominating Women's Pro Volleyball in Brazil

I don't think there is much point in gender declaration in marathon running.  There's no harm in the competitors declaring their gender, as in having man or woman next to their name, but I don't see the point in having separate marathons necessarily.  

You said women are better at women at endurance running, that's what I disagree with.  If the example you're putting forth contains a race where the top 3 competitors were men then it still isn't a good example.

I already provided a race where a female won the whole competition against men, and I still don't think that is enough evidence to say that women are better than men at endurance running because of all the other records smashed by men in endurance running.

In itself it isn't...but the fact that a trend expresses itself in endurance events across the boatrd is.  The reason, such as it is, the men beat women in physical competitions..to some extent, comes down to the duration of the competition.  Women have mor endurance than men, period.  It;s biochemical.  We can cover for our disprity through violence of action (early aggression securing an early lead, for example)........but that pretty much the same as a short guy in basketball covering for his lack of height by better foot and ball work.

I found some articles that do say women have more endurance than men of a similar athletic ability, more fatty deposits to rely on in a very very long distance run.

Although that doesn't seem to translate to actual records in things like, longest distance ever ran, longest distance ever swam.

There are ultra marathons and men seem to complete them in a quicker time than women usually.

The way I can imagine a woman's endurance working for them athletically is if there was something like an ultra ultra marathon.  And even then the world record for the longest distance ever ran is set by a man.
