The first ever all-women match in #WorldChaseTag history was held as part of the WCT 5 world final event. That was back in March in London, and I was in the crowd, but it's only today come to YouTube.

It was a good match, though a little one-sided perhaps. And the crowd was invested. The lads from Parkour 59 were beside me in the stands, and were vocal in their support. Some of these women are members of the same parkour gym.
The teams Fuse and Riot were, I think, constructed for the event, and both had members from multiple countries. Team cohesion matters more than you might expect for a sport where every chase is one-on-one. Teams often have distinctive styles. But as more women get into it (there was also a woman on the Overground team in the actual WCT5 contest) there may eventually be grassroots women's teams, which will doubtless play better.
And let's do another reply to throw in some hashtags I probably should have used in my earlier two posts:
