I  find it all quite patronising

How is it patronising?  Sometimes the female version of an event is actually far more popular and the athletes more famous.  There is nothing patronising about it.
Yeah, but rarely becasue they're better at it, but because they look hot doing it (and then there's tennis, not sure why women is more popular. the grunting? Then curling would be the number one woamsn sport lol )
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

The short skirts, duh. And not all female tennis players look like the Williams sisters.

While there are some hot ones, most are bulky. it's... disconcerting.

Your tastes may vary but I think few of the fans who turn in for figure skating or gymnastics do so because of the hot girls.

Mine make a lot of sense if (and, yes, only if) there's a bell curve within each group.  People would be better placed in groups, training could be more specific to the body shape (hormones 'gender' skeleton etc, whatever) and overall, performance would get the chance to improve

The seems alot more work and alot easier to cheat than a simple sex split.

Some of the gals who do the "rhythmic" gymnastics are pretty hott.
