    I was forced to go and to bring all my daughters...only saving grace is that it only lasted an hour and a half.

    I like the athleticism. But only once every 4 or 8 years when the Olympics have something going on and we got usa labeled across the chest.

    Gymnastics is an exhibition of athleticism but in no way a sport any more than professional wrestling. You don't win or lose by beating your opponent. You win or lose because some judge says you won or lost

    There is a wide gap in college Gymnastics vs National team level. Some of those college girls are way to fat. I dont think the judges care most of the time TBH.

    I've always thought that was mostly because of age,.. college gymnasts are much older than those elite National girls.

    eh, that one chick on the national team is like 22. Think she just posed nude. She is Fine and hell!!!!! There have been a few older women, but your mostly right that they peak earlier than the men.

    But they do lower level stuff and aren't trained as much. I know the elite girls at Woga train twice a day starting at a very early age.

    yeah, in college they don't have time nor the same level of dedication.

    I heard that the young girls are fearless, but when they reach 16 or so that changes,.. they become afraid that they'll hurt themselves,.. :) aka coming to their senses.

    Actually, I kind of agree with him. I don't like "sports" with judges because it's way too subjective. However, I strongly disagree with his stance that professional wrestling is not a real sport!! :)
