Why do you think Olympic gymnastics has separated men competition n teams from women?

[strateguy632]

in football or rugby or running female needs a chance to win, so separate but what advantages caused separate gymnastic?

i was shocked that simone was called best gymnast at some website, simone was part of a team and silver medal but sunisa was best with gold n all around... in women gymnastic which is separate.

in sprinting we know the fastest man is faster than fastest woman, he would win if their races had been together but... gymnastics? why not together? see if lady can win man or not?

They have different moves and equipment. Women's focuses more on balance, and men's on upper-body strength. That's just the basics. I'm not into gymnastics, but my sister did it growing up. She didn't have the rings, but did have the balance beam, for example.

Because the events are different in men's versus women's gymnastics competitions. There are no 'pommel horse' and 'still rings' events in women's gymnastics because those events require a lot of upper body strength.

We have gender division in Chess too even though chess has nothing physical which makes a woman at disadvantage

Gymnastics is such a gay sport, I need a woman against Jon Jones in the ring

[strateguy632]

chess needs division due to iq stats. lady needs a chance to win.
what victory is a strong guy winning a nerd arm wrestle, meaningless.

I think that women can be better gymnasts. They have a natural advantage.
