The women’s 100-meters world record would have been too slow by a quarter-second to qualify for entry into the men’s field at the 2012 Olympics.
In the 10,000-meters, the women’s world record performance would be lapped by a man who made the minimum Olympic qualifying standard.
In the long jump, women are 19 percent behind men.
The smallest gap occurs in distance swimming races. In the 800-meter freestyle, top women are within 6 percent of top men.
