Gymnastics

Maybe a great women's tennis player could at least be competitive with some of the men, though she'd need to be fairly tall and have good range.

Do men and women even do the same events in gymnastics?

Only floor and vault... women do uneven bars and balance beam, guys have rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and high bar.

No, because women are not equal to men, no matter how much they think they might be.

And great women's tennis player wouldn't make the starting six on and ranked men's team.

Hell, the walkons would drum the shite out of her

Volleyball is not a girly sport.

Women can't even do the events that men do in gymnastics b/c they aren't strong enough.
men playing volleyball is scary. those guys have hops, and I have no idea how they return those spikes.

There is no physical activity that a woman can do better than a man. It's not physically possible.

Maybe ping pong.

Why not gymnastics?


Fencing, I think, could be relatively even.

Skiing, no way. Strength, power, and size matter a lot in skiing. Good skiiers tend to be bigger and more powerful: Bode Miller is a solid 6'2", 200; Alberto Tomba was 6'0", 200; Hermann Maier was 5'11", 190; etc.

Nope. Not as unequal as other sports but it isn't that close either. I did it in college and the best women were as good as the average guy on the team. I'm talking olympic level women and low level non-starter guy

My little bro almost made the men's team for fencing and he beat a women who made the olympics in China 15-2

We have been through this so many times. From what I have read and heard over and over through the years, for sure the top 300 guys would pound her. Pride and some others say top 1,000. Pride was high DI from what I understand. I would love to see it. Anyone other than Serena or maybe an Azarenka power type, I think he would destroy.

Women may not be as good in sports but they are better cooks.

Oh wait. The top chefs in the world are all men.

Never mind.

It would be a very good match between someone my level and her. But i would win 8/10 times.


People dont realize how physical tennis is.
