A. Barton Hinkle on American Ninja Warrior and Sex Segregation in Sports

Kacy Catanzaro has put to shame a lot of men much
bigger than she. The list includes Denver Broncos wide receiver
Matt Willis, Tennessee Titans safety Jordan Babineaux,
mixed-martial-arts fighter Jason Soares, snowboarder Graham
Watanebe and Olympic gymnast Jonathan Horton. Those are just a
few.

Catanzaro, who stands 5 feet 0 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds

American Ninja Warrior competition. She is the first woman ever to
do so. A. Barton Hinkle explains what this teaches us about gender
segregation in sports.
