There are sort of classic `core' events which have always been co-ed, like swimming and gymnastics, and have always been well-covered by the media. Tennis, in particular, as the next two weeks of the Wimbledon yawn-fest will no doubt testify. It's when there have been more recent women's `versions' of `male' sports that the problem crops up. I know women's cricket has a long and noble tradition, but women's snooker barely gets a look-in, as does women's football.
