Women fall more? I don't know. I've watched a lot of guys try some really stupid stuff and cause big pile-ups. More pushing on the men's side also, in my experience.
In terms of racing or running in pack on the track...it's one of the world's great mysteries to me. I've never understood why the girls I've run with just don't do it right.
In college, during workouts, the men's workout groups ran in groups ran in straight line in lane 1, took turns leading, and tried their best to hit the splits.
The women - literally EVERY year - were a complete disaster. Girls in lane 2 (three even)...same girl leading every time, first intervals wayyy too fast.
Is this true of all women's teams. Any females out there that can explain what's at play. The guys always gave the women a hard time about this...and they were always like: "Yeah, I really just wish we could run like the guys' team."
