Exactly why men's gymnastics is superior to women's. Skill is valued over aesthetics.yoshifumi said:the only difference in men's gymnastics floor ex and women's is the dance parts.
and the men are even required a "dance" element now, but they usually accomplish that through horse skills on the floor and arabian and side flips

Celicar said:What annoys me is that NBC isn't playing the games live. They didn't show the men's gymnastics finals until tonight. WTF is up with that??

NLB2 said:This is what women's gymnastics wishes it could be. Its all about strength, stamina, and control. I'm watching it right now, don't spoil the winner for me, its down between the US and Japan now. Thanks.
just once i wanna see someone totally screw up destroying the hardwork of all his other teammates :/
Pimpwerx said:Mens gymnastics may require great feats of strength and skill, but it's not a sport. And if it is, it's the gayest sport after figure skating. Any sport where men regularly cry and where subjective scores are given isn't a sport. OTOH, women's gymnastics is pretty cool b/c you expect chicks to be doing splits and straddles and crying like little girls. Ugh, not even the rings can save 'em. PEACE.
I mean aesthetics as in the dance they do on floor (god, if they are gonna do that, I wish they would at least take some ballet lessons) and all the makeup they wear. (The makeup is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Its completely unnecesary and irrelevent to gymnastics, yet the women wear it anyway.)Shompola said:I enjoy watching mens gymnastics more than the womens. But according to the expert commentator on the tv channel I was watching he said that there is more emphasize on technique over strength and stamina in the women competitions and vice versa in men competitions. So if you mean aesthetics as in technique I agree.

How often do you see women in other sports wearing makeup? Besides its not just a bit of rouge and some eye shadow, they wear prostitute level makeup.karasu said:And the men get haircuts. WTF? They wear make up because they are fucking women.
