I’ll stick to competing with yourself for self improvement.
Have a nice day.
I competed against myself once, I was a champion. Competing with oneself is not called competing, it’s called training.
My daughters and I all raced go-karts competitively. They raced against a field mainly comprised of boys and one other girl, they were both state champions 3 years in a row. We practiced to reduce lap times but that all changed when Sunday race day came, they had to actually go out and prove themselves on the track. Racing/practicing against themselves didn’t prove a damn thing but competing against others certainly did. This participation trophy bs is exactly that…it’s bs. It creates a class of people that think they’re always winners when in reality that’s just not the case. Use to drive me bonkers when they played basketball at a very young age and they didn’t keep score. Parents used to ask and wonder what the score was. I’d tell them exactly what it was, they always laughed with a thx.🤣
Swimming is not a team sport.
Comparing it to a team sport is not logical.

And you want an old man to take her 2nd place medal.
So, you think swimming against your own times, improving your own times, setting time goals, and meeting them is what you call a loser.
Ever heard of age groups?
Adults do not swim against minors.
A transgender is not a perv.

The above is correct if your an AI BOT without a soul. Your stats seems to qualify you as one also. Now I get you.
Any 50 something person hanging around girls of that age is a pervert. Lesbians included.
But, Jesus still loves you!

Then why does NYPost describe a 50 year old man competing against 16 yr olds.
In an open public locker room for all ages.
The perv is manufactured in your own mind.

So you believe all men should be kept from their children? Because all men are potential child rapists? Or did I misunderstand you?

Their fathers, uncles, family friends.
Kathryn Bromwich argued that the main threat to us cisgender women comes from cisgender men, and not trans women. It is the same in sport: historically and currently, the common perpetrators of sexual assault, abuse and harassment in sport are cisgender men. They also tend to be heterosexual and white. They hold nearly all the levers of power in sport by leading international and national sport organizations and governing bodies, the NCAA, pro leagues, coaching staffs, mainstream sports media and more.
They give themselves near-unfettered access to use and abuse athletes of all genders. They face almost no accountability as they seem to purposefully leave SafeSport in the US, for example, understaffed and powerless in countless ways.
Anti-trans activists are building off the failed locker room and bathroom bills of several years ago to claim that transgender female athletes present the sexual threat to us. This claim is baseless; the UCLA School of Law’s Williams’ Institute showed that trans people are four times more likely than cis people to be victims of violent crime such as rape and sexual assault.
