I was watching the road race presuming they were blokes ..

That isn’t something that happened in previous games .,

It’s more noticeable this time across all sports

Its basically reflecting society maybe ?

Walking down our high streets it’s fairly common to see young women who are comfortable/confident in looking boyish

Often I’m left wondering ..

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing as it doesn’t effect me at all of course

They do look feminine. You said they look like teenage boys. I guess that's where the confusion lies.

Teenage boys in general, look slightly feminine.

What you're seeing perhaps, is women feeling less inclined to bow to the social pressure of "making sure they look feminine" and content to just look however they look, while engaging in a sport.
