Reminds me of Gail Davis on the Andy Griffith show (ok so I'm showing some age here, but it's still good comedy).

Barney and Thelma Lou decide to play matchmaker for Andy and her visiting cousin Karen Moore. They don't have much trouble as Andy and Karen soon hit it off. In fact, they have a lot in common including shooting, music, and singing. Barney puts his foot in it as usual when he tells Thelma Lou that Andy has checked Karen out and makes it sound like she's a commodity to be purchased. Thinking that Andy is as crude as Barney makes him out to be, she decides to teach him a lesson at the annual skeet shooting competition. Karen is a champion skeet shooter, a fact that Andy nor Barney know about. Karen ends up winning the competition; putting Andy in his place.

Gail Davis, the actress who played Karen, previously starred as the title character in Annie Oakley (1954), who was, among other things, a skilled shooter.
This was the last acting credit for Gail Davis.

The gaps are closing. In my lifetime, Title IX changed a lot of things athletically. Young women didn't have near as many opportunities to express themselves athletically before it was enacted. Suddenly women were given nearly the same opportunities for sports as men in schools everywhere. Many found that they could express themselves physically and increase self confidence but just didn't have the opportunity before.

I hope the republicans don't figure that out or they will be on a crusade against women in sports in schools.

Danica Patrick had the advantage in Indy car racing since she was much lighter than her male counterparts. A lot has been written about that.

Once she moved to Nascar she was driving an entirely different car and setup. IMO she should have stayed with driving Indy cars. Nascar cars are beasts.

In equestrian sports I firmly believe women come out ahead. My dad owned an Arabian show jumper and he had a young woman who trained and rode him in shows and ended up with many blue ribbons competing with both men and women.

She had an incredible rapport with the horse and would spend hours training and grooming him. I don't think any man alive could compare.
