"In highly competitive physical sports there would be no person below median height at all in the olympics for example."
That's not true for all sports. Gymnastics is highly physical and favors short people. Likewise, wrestling and Judo favor people who are short for their weight.
I do think height classes would make sense in basketball though, just as we have weight classes in combat sports.
