Why the Olympic monobob event is only for women

Back then, women were barred from competing in nearly every event except <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Chamonix-1924-Olympic-Winter-Games">figure skating</a>. Of the 250 athletes that arrived for the first Winter Olympics, only 11 were women.</p> <p>Times have changed. The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is considered the most gender-balanced to date, with female athletes making up <a href="https://olympics.com/ioc/news/women-at-the-olympic-winter-games-beijing-2022-all-you-need-to-know">45 percent of the roster</a>. But sexist regulations and outdated “science” still creep in. Who could forget the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, when the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/20/sports/norway-beach-handball-team.html?smid=tw-share">Norwegian handball team was fined</a> for refusing to wear bikinis? Or questionable testosterone tests that <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57748135">barred female sprinters from competing</a> in an event?</p> <p>As recently as 2008, the Winter Olympics was riddled with controversy over gender inclusion issues; female aerial skiers <a href="https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2022/01/17/ski-jumping-olympics-usa-women/">sued the Vancouver Organizing Committee</a> over alleged discrimination. In 2005, the president of the International Ski Federation stated that ski jumping “<a href="http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1963484_1963490_1963447,00.html">seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view</a>.”</p> <p>Uteruses, am I right?</p> <p>As for bobsledding, it wasn’t <a href="https://olympics.com/en/beijing-2022/sports/bobsleigh/">until 2002</a> that female athletes were invited to participate in the Games, but only in a single event: the two-woman bob. Since 1932, men have had two events (the two-man and four-man bob). In 2022, a new all-women bobsledding event was introduced: the monobob, a single-woman sled. But is it actually leveling the playing field? Maybe, but not entirely in the way you might think.</p> <p>Further reading:</p> <p>You can find this video and the entire library of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLXo7UDZvByw2ixzpQCufnA"><strong>Vox’s videos on YouTube</strong></a>.</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/22925785/olympic-monobob-women-event-gender-equality">https://www.vox.com/22925785/olympic-monobob-women-event-gender-equality</a>

Peloton’s problems aren’t just Peloton’s

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/72LZDSnWy1jooeMs_oQ4xqwrWmI=/0x246:3500x2078/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23229681/GettyImages_1316519581.jpg" /></div> <p>Peloton is spiraling, and its downfall could be a harbinger of real trouble for an entire industry. The at-home digital exercise company is one of several that thrived during the pandemic and <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/11/14/18088390/peloton-hugh-jackman-spin-bikes-hydrow-tonal">promised</a> <a href="https://time.com/5839552/peloton-ceo-john-foley/">to</a> <a href="https://www.vox.com/ad/20976068/mirror-home-gym-fitness">change</a> forever how we work out. But now, it’s not clear if they’ll be around to finish <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2020/5/6/21241805/yoga-with-adriene-youtube-workout-at-home">the at-home fitness revolution</a> they started.</p> <p>There’s no denying that the pandemic made working out at home extremely popular. After gyms were forced to close their doors, people canceled their memberships and invested in exercise equipment and online class subscriptions instead. So much so that companies like Peloton couldn’t keep up with demand, leaving many customers <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/5/22266121/peloton-shipping-delays-earnings-q4-2020">to wait months</a> for their bikes and treadmills to be delivered. But Covid-19 restrictions didn’t last forever. Eventually, when gyms started reopening, people stopped buying — <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/pandemics-peloton-obsession-turns-to-peloton-fatigue-11633097818">and using</a> — exercise equipment with the same enthusiasm they had in the spring of 2020.</p> <div class="c-float-right"></div> <p>This transition has been brutal for Peloton. Sales of new bikes <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/11/05/peloton-sales-gym-memberships/">have slumped</a>, and people haven’t bought enough of the company’s newer products, which include <a href="https://www.onepeloton.com/tread?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Recode%202.9.22&utm_term=Recode">two treadmill models</a> and <a href="https://www.onepeloton.com/shop/accessories/dumbbells">weights</a>, to make up the difference. After losing <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/08/business/dealbook/peloton-ceo-sale.html">$439 million last quarter</a><a href="https://link.recode.net/click/26652173.43833/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMi8wOC9idXNpbmVzcy9kZWFsYm9vay9wZWxvdG9uLWNlby1zYWxlLmh0bWw/608c6cd87e3ba002de9a4dcaC68ed54e5">,</a> Peloton <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/20/peloton-to-pause-production-of-its-bikes-treadmills-as-demand-wanes.html">decided</a> in January that it would temporarily halt production of its bikes and treadmills to cut costs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/20/peloton-to-pause-production-of-its-bikes-treadmills-as-demand-wanes.html">according to internal documents obtained by CNBC</a>. Then, on Tuesday, the company said that it would <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/peloton-ceo-john-foley-to-step-down-become-executive-chair-11644314403">lay off 2,800 people</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/peloton-factory-ohio-scrap-plans-construction-bike-treadmill-john-foley-2022-2">cancel its plans for a new $400 million factory in Ohio</a>, and that its CEO, John Foley, would step down. Former Spotify CFO <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/peloton-ceo-john-foley-to-step-down-become-executive-chair-11644314403">Barry McCarthy</a> will take his place.</p> <p>Many of the issues Peloton faced were specific to the company. Some investors had <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/activist-investor-to-call-on-peloton-to-fire-its-ceo-11642982211">argued</a> that Foley — who led the company for a decade — just wasn’t up to the task of scaling the company so quickly. Peloton also had a series of slip-ups, including supply chain problems, a <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/home-product-recalls/peloton-tread-tread-plus-treadmills-recalled-serious-safety-hazards-a6638931886/">very public recall of its treadmills</a>, and a <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22895463/peloton-stock-price-bike-cost-production">controversial ad campaign</a>.</p> <p>But Peloton’s demise also coincides with a trend in more people working out like they used to do: at gyms. Demand for in-person <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/07/07/business/back-gym-fitness-classes-gym-memberships-rebound-after-pandemic-era-hiatus/">fitness classes and gym memberships</a> has rebounded, while Google searches for home gym equipment overall <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=home%20Gym%20equipment">have continued to fall</a> since their high in March of 2020. Foot traffic to gyms has now returned to the same levels as January 2020, according to data from SafeGraph, a geospatial data company. Planet Fitness alone <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-01-28/desperate-to-hit-the-gym-again-planet-fitness-is-thrilled-peloton-not-so-much">said</a> that, by November, it had recovered 15 million customers, which amounts to just half a million customers less than its pre-pandemic peak.</p> <p>In the wake of the return to gyms, Peloton’s competitors are starting to see signs of trouble, too. Mirror is one of them. The company sells a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/can-the-mirror-really-replicate-the-studio-fitness-class-experience/">$1,495 smart mirror</a> that streams virtual exercise classes on the surface of the device as you work out. Just a few months into the pandemic, Lululemon bought Mirror for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/business/lululemon-buys-mirror.html">$500 million</a> in a bid to capitalize on the big transition to at-home fitness. Over a year later, the athleisure brand has cut its estimated <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/4-lululemon-analysts-react-to-post-earnings-weakness-challenging-year-in-digital-fitness-1031042007">revenue expectations</a> for Mirror in half.</p> <p>“As you know, 2021 has been a challenging year for digital fitness,” Lululemon CEO Calvin McDonald <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/lululemon-spent-500-million-high-131115205.html">told investors</a> in December. “We have seen increasing pressures on customer acquisition costs that are impacting the entire industry.”</p> <p>Meanwhile, NordicTrack’s parent company, iFIT, announced that it would go public last September, but a month later, it delayed the move, citing “<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ifit-postpones-ipo-citing-adverse-market-conditions-2021-10-07">adverse market conditions</a>.” And Nautilus, which owns fitness brands like Bowflex and Schwinn, also <a href="https://sgbonline.com/nautilus-q3-revenues-decline-on-reduced-direct-sales-and-shipping-constraints/">reported late last year</a> that some of its products haven’t been selling as well as they did earlier in the pandemic, though many are still more popular than they were back in 2019.</p> <p>It’s possible that Peloton could find a path forward if a larger company acquires it. But there are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/08/business/dealbook/peloton-ceo-sale.html">reasons to believe that won’t happen</a>, even with its new CEO. Some activist investors want a larger company to buy Peloton and have suggested <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/peloton-potential-buyers-blackwells-berkshire-hathaway-lululemon-nike-john-foley-2022-2">at least 19 possible candidates</a>, including Apple, Netflix, and Lululemon. But these companies may <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/08/business/dealbook/peloton-ceo-sale.html">not be interested</a> in an expensive but niche fitness business. Apple, for instance, is already wary of buying more companies and catching the attention of antitrust regulations. Netflix isn’t in the device business, and the streaming giant has generally avoided fitness content. Lululemon already has Mirror.</p> <p>But as Peloton searches for a buyer, plenty of other companies are building streaming platforms for fitness content that allow people to use any equipment they want — and for a lot less money. These services include <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVFsbcXBkI">Apple’s Fitness+</a>, on-demand home workouts from <a href="https://classpass.com/try/home-workout-videos">ClassPass</a>, and millions of fitness videos on YouTube. These streaming options tend to make money through advertisements or low-cost monthly subscriptions without pushing people to buy specialized equipment.</p> <p>Whether other companies will go the way of Peloton remains to be seen. Of course, this would hardly be the first time an at-home fitness fad has come and gone. Every generation of tech seems to come with its own spin on the home fitness revolution, from VHS aerobics to the exercise equipment sold on QVC. This time around, Peloton thought streaming and touchscreens would be the breakthrough to keep people hooked. Unfortunately for Peloton, the company may have just built another expensive clothing rack.</p> <p><em>This story was first published in the Recode newsletter.</em> <a href="https://www.vox.com/pages/newsletters"><em>Sign up here</em></a> <em>so you don’t miss the next one!</em></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/22925513/peloton-recall-gyms-nordictrack-mirror">https://www.vox.com/recode/22925513/peloton-recall-gyms-nordictrack-mirror</a>

<p><strong>Joe Rogan further addressed the campaign to have him booted off Spotify and silenced Tuesday, labelling it a “political hit job” and stating that he doesn’t believe he should “apologize for nonsense.”</strong></p> <p>Speaking with fellow comedian and podcaster Akaash Singh about out of context edited videos of his old shows online, Rogan stated “You know, in a lot of ways, like, all this is a relief, because it’s like, just because that that video it always been out there. It’s like, this is a political hit job.”</p> <p>“And so they’re taking all this stuff that I’ve ever said that’s wrong and smoosh it all together, but it’s good because it makes me address some sh*t that I really wish wasn’t out there.”</p> <p>Singh chimed in, “You can apologize if you say some wild sh*t and we’ve also had some wild sh*t and you apologize and own that is wrong. Good for you.”</p> <p>“You should apologize if you regret something,” Rogan responded, adding “This idea that you should never apologize, like if you regret something, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with apologizing.”</p> <p>However, he added the caveat “I do think you have to be very careful to not apologize for nonsense.”</p> <p>Rogan also noted that “If you stay offline it’s just real life.

Joe,” Trump wrote in a statement, adding “just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be!”</p> <p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ron-desantis-joe-rogan-controversies-distrust-media">Fox News</a> Florida governor Ron DeSantis also said Rogan should not have to apologise because the left is “out to destroy him.”</p> <p>“No, he shouldn’t have apologized. I mean, you see what happens? The mob will come after people, and they’re targeting Rogan because he’s threatening to upset the apple cart on some of the things that they’re holding dear.” DeSantis said, urging Rogan “do not kowtow to the mob.”</p> <p>Watch:</p> Watch the latest video at <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/">foxnews.com</a> <p>In response to charges of racism against Rogan, conservative pundit, and former pro wrestler Tyrus delivered a powerful rant Tuesday, noting that he was at first pissed with Rogan after viewing the edited videos, but then quickly realised the entire debacle is an effort to create outrage to get Rogan silenced.</p> <p>“Nobody cares what he said 12 years ago,” Tyrus roared, adding “Hell, you didn’t. Where were you then? I’ll wait for a response, but we know that will fall on deaf ears.”</p> <p>“Maybe it’s time you stop using us African Americans to do your dirty work, and fight your battles,” he urged, adding “Now, I get it, you use your favorite little words to get us fired up: ‘racist, systemic, critical. And your new favorite word: misinformation. And that’ll get us fired up, we won’t even look at the facts or the whatnots, and we’ll just jump in and cancel away with you.”</p> <p>Tyrus continued, “You were losing that conversation [about COVID], so you needed something else.
