I don't know about this. It does feel unfair to have the flyweights having an advantage, but is that not just their good fortune.
And what if you followed an example of parity in other sports. Basketball players wearing platform shoes of various sizes. Life jackets or outboard motors for the less buoyant swimmers. Horse racing would be rather different.
Maybe it should not be as pronounced as it is, but I'm not sure there's a lot that should be done about it at the pinnacle of the sport.
