Change women's steeple height from 30" to 36"

Only an LRC virgin (redundant, yes) would think that six measly inches matters to a woman.

It does if they trip over it.

Because apparently nobody wants to watch a ten minute women’s steeplechase.

At a DL meet this year they set one of the barriers at the men's height. Only the 9ft tall American pointed it out. The 3ft Kenyans just got on with it. Or something like that.

LOL

Average women has a height equal to 91% of the height of an average man. So their steeple should be 33in!!!!!!

Shouldn't women's be higher because they don't have a 12" appendage hanging down between their legs?

Only a bunch of pathetic insecure little boys would be concerned with the women's steeple barrier height. Always good to see there is no shortage of misogynists on LRC.

What if they "gasp at the girth" ?

whats youre point kipruto is 5ft 6

There is little difference between the leg length of men and women.

80 cm should be the height for women

90 cm should be the height for men

It's not six inches, it's six MORE inches.

Yeah sure, if you have a six feet tall male and a female of the same height.. other than this scenario, you’re an idiot.

Sounds about right. 30" is way too low for some of these ladies especially the 5'8-5'10"'rs.

That would require steeple barriers with three heights. Great in theory, but when women’s steeple (and when boys started running over 76cm barriers) the water jump could be pushed forward a foot. A lot of facilities complained and so a fixed water jump was standardised. Spending the extra money would have been bettter for the sport. A three height barrier and a movable water jump is best.

Equality for all. I hope you dont want to say women are inferior if you are in favor of women's heights. Women are more capable than men
