Coverage of women's athletics and swimming on the Beeb is generally about on a par with the male equivalents, to be fair. I suspect this may be because they offer the sight of lots of lithe young females running/swimming around in their skimpies -- a suspicion reinforced by the fact that in gymnastics the Beeb's coverage seems certainly to favour the women's events.
