Water sports
Are women who participated in any water sports (i.e. yachting, water skiing, synchronized swimming) included in this month? Or would they fall under the women in sports monthly contest? Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:18, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , IMHO, they can be added to both. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
