    So i was having this debate with a bunch of friends, statistically w/e men don't compete much against women, but we decided to type KGB that answering service with the question look at this, and let me know if there is any sport btw...

    Question: are there any sports that women are statistically better than men at when competing with each other? Answer: women play a more central role than men in a successful society by focusing more on cooperating than competing

    thanks for that great use of a dollar KGB

    Not at anything that I can think of off the top of my head, but gymnastics briefly crossed my mind. IDK if they're better at the floor exercise and balance beam?

    we thought about that. softball is a separate sport technically but if men actually played and had time to train - undoubtedly they would be better.

    BTW, google says cheerleading and babymaking - better answer than kgb

    I'd agree with cheerleading. Men do play softball in leagues.

    I think women are genetically more flexible. I could be wrong though.

    doubt ocean wreck scuba diving is a sport but...

    On Mayday, 2007, Ocean Tecs instructor Nina Preisner set a new world record. At 13.40 local time, she became the deepest woman wreck diver on open circuit scuba, having glided comfortably down through the blue to settle on the bow of the Jolanda at a depth of 159.8 metres. Carrying 6 tanks of various breathing gasses and accompanied by Oceans' Deepest Angel, Neil Black, she spent 4 minutes on the sunken deck of the stricken vessel during a dive that lasted 157 minutes, most of which was spent decompressing.

    For the last 77 years, women have been the champions at the World Series of Knitting.

    There was an equally long run at the World Series of Nagging, until Joseph Mantalban was able to overcome Kathy "Cuntbag" Rosen of Delaware.

    No. I imagine something where they incorporate their short, compact, gaping pelvises (i.e. their child-bearing hips). It's really their only shot, and anatomically, the one true advantage they have over us men.

    There have been a few women that did well as jockeys competing vs men, but I would not say they were better than men.

    Julie Krone won some race meet jockey standings (including Del Mar) as well as a Breeders Cup race and the Belmont Stakes, and she is in the Hall of Fame

    well I guess if you beat a random HS team than that is good enough for me.

    I am talking top notch players and yes, I do realize men play this game and are good at it, but they usually don't play their entire lives where girls do.

    but after probably two weeks of practice, a minor league men's team could beat the world champion girls team
