A strange little side quest
If Trickpool sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976.

The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
