@PointlessExistence-nq9nbwhat did he even say that made you think this?😅 He(or even she) doesn’t say that male gymnasts are athletes either. Being a gymnasts(no matter the sex) is already synonymous to being athletes, as they’re often associated with the olympics internationally. And nobody’s saying that it’s easy, how would any normal person imagine themselves performing a fraction of what gymnasts put on show.
@PointlessExistence-nq9nbhe’s just commenting about how some of the moves female gymnasts do seems impossible compared to the male counterpart. You can be aesthetic but you don’t just create a new dimension casually(as if it was even possible😅)
It’s just because most sports focus on sexualizing women and making them look pretty instead of using their strength. I may not be as strong as a man, but I would like to be seen as a living organism and not an object. ❤
@@Screech911 imo sex isn’t the problem here, the people who see you as an object would then see you as a practical object rather than a beauty object(a labour slave instead of sex slave essentially), it’s the people who allow/tolerate such behaviors and treatment that is a cause here.
It's cool seeing some of the similarities between women's gymnastics and dance because dance has illusions too and switch leaps☺️ and ofc some of the acro stuff to like front arials and back handspring step outs
@@momo1461 It's the internet, you've got to realize that people generally don't care about punctuation. It was obvious enough that it was a question. Apologies if it wasn't clear, but I was genuinely asking you what you thought a real sport was.
0:25 I've always found weird that I can't do backflips and cartwheels, yet I can do this move (the backward roll) effortlessly. It is one of my favorite warm-ups.
The gray guy's switch leap looked like my leaps and I'm a dancer 😭😭 also the guy's celebration looked like that one video where the baby threw herself off the edge of the couch
It's interesting how different men and women's gymnastics are. Like I lways knew they different. But I never followed men's enough to realize how different. This whole channel has been quite the eye opener
I just found this and absolutely love it. Former gymnast. Just showed my mom who chaperoned our trips/meets and she spit out her wine. Flipping great. Thanks for taking me back
I’m curious, how much of this CAN be learned with practice and training. Because I can tell you, I cannot do even the limited scope of the boys (I am VERY stiff and stretching is NOT easy) but I do know that flexibility can be improved with daily practice.
All of this can be learned unless you have a literal physical disability that prevents you from doing them. It just might take years of body conditioning to do it, though. If you stretched like a gymnast every day for just a month, you would a tremendous decrease in "stiffness." Muscles are extremely adaptable to different types of work loads, it just takes time.
I was thinking that too, these male gymnasts bodies look like they've been doing a very different thing, but I reckon if you take a male ballet dancer he'd have a better handle on these kinds of moves.
@@Him_Downstairs36 Thank you for that video, would be good without the obnoxious girl's reaction but hey. Yeah there's nothing preventing a guy from becoming that flexible and flipping around all over the place, impressive stuffs
I played men’s volleyball in college and still play in high level double’s tournaments. The offense/defense ratio in Men’s volleyball is much higher than women’s so the rallies average being shorter and less exciting. Men hit the ball much harder.
@@danparish1344 Precisely. I think you guys jump too high and smack (spike?) the ball too hard, then the play's over. lol I like to see lengthier rallies. The build up makes it more entertaining to watch. You guys are too big and athletic for the court size & net height. NBA was developing the same problem for a while, then S Curry came along and stretched the court. Men's beach vb is fun to watch though. I live in SB and our tourneys at East Beach are the best!
Oooh so THATS why men don’t do high beams. As a former competitive gymnast, if I had a quarter for everytime I’ve fallen on my cooch on a high beam, I’d have enough money to dare a guy to do a back flip on a high beam
Women are just as vulnerable in their genetalia, what are you on about? Just because their eggs are on the inside doesn't mean they can't take permanent damage from a blow there, and it's just as painful.
If you land your balls in the beam it isn’t that dangerous because your balls is more durable than you think they are. It would just be really painful.
@@pshemoo2019 Nah, man, you can literally do permanent damage. Especially falling on your testicles with full body weight. One of the big reasons why we developed so many nerve endings in our balls, is because hitting them, or twisting them the wrong way can literally stop you from being able to procreate.
Center of gravity plays an important role with balance. The men will have a more difficult time with the first move because their center of gravity is more in the chest area. Since the womens' center of gravity is in the hips, we don't see them struggle to do it like the men do.
The center of gravity in typical male bodies is higher than in typical female ones, but it's NOWHERE near being in the chest :P If the arms are raised straight up, it might approach the top of the abdominal cavity but that's a stretch. The person would have to have relatively long and/or heavy arms and short and/or light legs. In neutral posture it's usually still pretty close to or even below the top of the pelvis.
It’s so weird. For males their gymnastics is so easy but when they do woman’s gymnastics it’s hard but then we like cant belive they do it that bad then we try mens and we can’t do it- It’s weird 😂
Most of the things they do look tough to me, not easy haha. And if you really think about it, mens gymnastics is more focused or strength whereas womens is more focused on flexibility, so even though same sport, both look extremely different haha :) speaking as a non gymnast and purely from assumptions, for me it looks like mens gymnastics drains more energy and womens gymnastics requires more skill and balance, at the end of the day, both are difficult
@@unidentifiedddd Oh wait- Sorry I was meaning facts about mens gymnastics takes more strength and woman’s takes more flexibility 😂 Sorry if it was confusng
@@leg1187 Yeah why are the female leotards so weird? They are cut off at the @ss cheek when they could be shorts like the guys. It's so inappropriate and I hate that. I used to be a gymnast and I had to keep pulling the leotard down because of a wedgie. 😑
@@dsy529 I'm glad someone is speaking out. I'm a male but I always wondered if the male costumes and the female costumes were different for a very creepy resson.
@@leg1187 Thank you! It's so annoying to see people make excuses because males are "built differently". I understand that but the ladies can wear shorts too. And the weird female uniforms are the same for other sports like volleyball.
@@ZARDDRAM0N it's not like that. Women literally have a lower center of gravity. Which means we have different balance points. That means we literally move differently when performing certain moves. I'm not hating. I'm certain there's moves that the women won't perform the same as the men as well.
There are few sports that clearly demonstrate secondary sex characteristics like gymnastics. Women are usually more flexible and men have greater lean muscle mass. Neither are better than the other, it just shows how amazing bodies are.
but gymnastics as a sport favors men b/c the strength it demands is at the extremes of what the human body can do, esp. if you look at the men's still rings event (which doesn't even exist for women as it takes so much strength), those guys are literally the strongest athletes in the world going by strength RELATIVE to bodyweight. The flexibility required in gymnastics is NOT extreme, it only LOOKS extreme to untrained people. If you can do the splits, touch your toes without bending you back or your knees, do a german hang on a bar (which children easily do) - then you have all the flexibility in your hips, hamstrings, and shoulders that you'll need for gymnastics. It's an intermediate level, not an extreme level like the strength requirement. Even some of the advanced yoga poses demand more flexibility than gymnastics ever would. You want to see extremes of flexibility, look up contortionists - they're mostly women. The extreme positions they get their bodies into aren't very mobile or powerful and don't really have a function beyond demonstrating how flexible you are so you don't see them in gymnastics
I never really realised there were basically two different types of gymnastics for men and women. Also I admire sports like this where both men and women are successful and can have similar career opportunities, without it being forced. Gymnastics, volleyball, tennis, mma, sports like these. Whereas you look at something like basketball, which is my favourite sport, and the difference in talent and entertainment value between the two is crazy. The nba is so fun to watch and I spend hours every day debating, checking scores and watching games, where as the WNBA is just known for not being able to dunk, sucking at basketball, and then complaining that they don’t get payed millions like the guys, even though their own league loses millions and is subsidised by the nba. The nba has tried so hard to get the WNBA to work and be popular, but it just doesn’t work, despite all the special treatment. But then I look at women’s rugby union, my country New Zealand recently hosted the women’s rugby World Cup, and the black ferns (nz women’s team) sold out most of their games I think. I watched every game on tv. Not because I was supporting women’s sports, but because it was just genuinely good rugby. They’re slower and weaker than the All Blacks obviously, but when everyone’s on the same level you don’t really notice, and their skill levels were comparable. A lot of the games were really exciting to watch, and as a country we were really proud of them when they won the tournament. Having written this idk why it’s so long, sry.
Most sports simply aren’t made for female bodies. But we don’t need to mock the wnba just to uplift other female athletes. Notice that nobody is insulting these male gymnasts for not being as agile as the females in this video. I don’t believe that anyone is entitled to someone else’s money or earnings. But I rarely see anybody from the wnba “complaining” about that. They just relocate to another country where they can make more money. Regardless, none of those comparisons were very necessary.
@@LoneWulf278 no ones mocking these men cos they don’t claim to be good at this gymnastics and they’re even making fun of themselves. Whereas WNBA players say they’re just as good as the men, and that they deserve to be paid as such, but in reality they lose money so they’re lucky to even make anything at all.
@@finn54123 They really don’t say this. They know what they’re getting into when they touch a court. You want this scenario to be the case so that your comment can seem more appropriate. But go off with this weird random narrative.
@@finn54123 They never said they were just as good as the male professional basketball players. They explained what they do to supplement their income oversees because of the pay difference. So basically… exactly the point I made.
Since comments have established the differences are based on physiological differences … what happens when someone of a gender has the body that better suits the other? People react uniquely to hormones and basically goes through a special puberty. Additionally, I think there’s the theory that sports chooses the sportsperson based on physicality. So perhaps it’s obvious regardless of gender, particular people can do a form that deviates from conventions. I love that!
There’s gonna be a boy/man gymnast who can do can do these routines. It’s very likely it’s nobody doing male gymnastics. Edit: maybe in the future, sports should accept gender diversity and consider removing gendered-sports-roles, choosing a body shape/capability approach instead. Idk the consequences to competitions or sports as a cultural and functional concept, but it would be lovely if it worked.
@@shawnbay2211 Nah theres more than hormones Female and male bodys have different bone structure and mass structure Even a female with the same weight and size cant put the same amount of force a male do And a male cand be s flexible as a woman because of these different body structures
@@shawnbay2211 tons of male dancers could do this stuff, this 'women's gymnastics' is way more consonant with dance and also with certain martial arts than what male gymnasts would usually train
This is what the whole debate on male sports forgets about… men are more suited for strenght based sports, but women are unparalleled on aesthetics based sports like gymnast and figure skating. Not saying men arent good at them, but they dont fill the same criteria, just as women dont do the same in sports like football
That truth is men are better at those sports by the same margin as football and all the others (maybe more)..you mention figure skating yet I assume you don't know anything about it, it is NOT the female skaters performing a quadruple axel jump and defying gravity like the men. You just think so because in many sports, 'they don't fill the same criteria' exists as a convention, often the event that's based most purely on 'aesthetic' (like rhythmic gymnastics) don't even exist for men at the Olympic level. If they competed on the same criteria (and if there were a significant will to do so, maybe they will) - the men would surpass the women on the same criteria, why would they NOT? The guys in this video simply haven't trained these movements the way the girls did. Whereas women don't compete in men's events like the still rings b/c..they just can't do the same things. There's a video here on youtube of female olympic gymnasts seeing AMATEUR males perform their routines and they even say the guys did it better. Like in any sport, amateur males surpass elite/olympic-level females - that's probably MORE true for gymnastics than most, as gymnastics is more purely about strength than most. What you don't seem to understand is that what you as a spectator call 'aesthetics'..IS a function of strength, it takes a LOT of strength to make something look effortless

Being a gymnasts(no matter the sex) is already synonymous to being athletes, as they’re often associated with the olympics internationally. And nobody’s saying that it’s easy, how would any normal person imagine themselves performing a fraction of what gymnasts put on show.
@PointlessExistence-nq9nbhe’s just commenting about how some of the moves female gymnasts do seems impossible compared to the male counterpart.
You can be aesthetic but you don’t just create a new dimension casually(as if it was even possible😅)
It’s just because most sports focus on sexualizing women and making them look pretty instead of using their strength. I may not be as strong as a man, but I would like to be seen as a living organism and not an object. ❤
@@Screech911 imo sex isn’t the problem here, the people who see you as an object would then see you as a practical object rather than a beauty object(a labour slave instead of sex slave essentially), it’s the people who allow/tolerate such behaviors and treatment that is a cause here.
I love gymnasts so much. You guys are epic.
Me who is in pain trying to even do a cartwheel: 👁👄👁
Love this video. There's just something so wholesome and human about it.
That moment when you realize you have never seen men's gymnastics. Lol
It's cool seeing some of the similarities between women's gymnastics and dance because dance has illusions too and switch leaps☺️ and ofc some of the acro stuff to like front arials and back handspring step outs
I laughed very hard throughout this, thank you for that.
This makes Paul Hunts gymnastic routines all that more impressive when you realise he's doing stuff most guys don't do and can't do.

I always find it really interesting to see the differences between men and women in various subjects. Very cool video! 😊
Lol I always love seeing these videos because they're so different!
I love seeing all the differences in the sports, they're both incredibly beautiful on their own🥺🤗
I never knew the difference between both men and women gymnastics
There are like 10 types of gymnastics.
This was the best!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 love it! ❤
i appreciate you guys even trying out the ones tht could crack the nuts

I've always found weird that I can't do backflips and cartwheels, yet I can do this move (the backward roll) effortlessly. It is one of my favorite warm-ups.
I am not into gimnastics at all but for me this was both impressive and entertaining so yea.. good video for sure 💪🔥
I could watch these all day 🤣
The gray guy's switch leap looked like my leaps and I'm a dancer 😭😭 also the guy's celebration looked like that one video where the baby threw herself off the edge of the couch
It's interesting how different men and women's gymnastics are. Like I lways knew they different. But I never followed men's enough to realize how different. This whole channel has been quite the eye opener
Support men's sports

😂😂 This was awesome! 👏🏻
I just found this and absolutely love it. Former gymnast. Just showed my mom who chaperoned our trips/meets and she spit out her wine. Flipping great. Thanks for taking me back
I’m pretty sure the “switch leap” is actually a switch half, switch leaps start and end the same direction usually
i subscribed so there better be a part 2
ikr
I laughed way too hard at some of these.
THIS made me laff so hard.. Thanks😊
I’m curious, how much of this CAN be learned with practice and training.
Because I can tell you, I cannot do even the limited scope of the boys (I am VERY stiff and stretching is NOT easy) but I do know that flexibility can be improved with daily practice.
All of this can be learned unless you have a literal physical disability that prevents you from doing them. It just might take years of body conditioning to do it, though. If you stretched like a gymnast every day for just a month, you would a tremendous decrease in "stiffness." Muscles are extremely adaptable to different types of work loads, it just takes time.
Still waiting for part 2 😂😂😂😂
Soon
this is just so entertaining to watch
This was so fun to watch lol
Woman's flexibility is kinda insane, they're really good at this
That's not a Wolf Turn, that's some Rock Lee's Konoha whirlwind turned fabulous.
I need part two :D
Lol the celebration one with the Mike Tyson voiceover haha
i didn't know they were different lmao
I wonder if a male ballet dancer with tumbling abilities would be able to do some of this stuff?
He will definitely do that, that's what I'm saying...they are putting athletic gymnasts on Artistic gymnastics.
@@mcmerry2846 agreed
I was thinking that too, these male gymnasts bodies look like they've been doing a very different thing, but I reckon if you take a male ballet dancer he'd have a better handle on these kinds of moves.

As a spectator I prefer watching woman's volleyball, gymnastics and figure skating, over men's. Tennis and swimming (but not water polo) is a tie.
I played men’s volleyball in college and still play in high level double’s tournaments.
The offense/defense ratio in Men’s volleyball is much higher than women’s so the rallies average being shorter and less exciting. Men hit the ball much harder.
ah yes, a man of culture, the true connoisseur
@@danparish1344 this person was just stating their preference they didnt ask for your facts dude
@@danparish1344 Precisely. I think you guys jump too high and smack (spike?) the ball too hard, then the play's over. lol I like to see lengthier rallies. The build up makes it more entertaining to watch. You guys are too big and athletic for the court size & net height. NBA was developing the same problem for a while, then S Curry came along and stretched the court.
Men's beach vb is fun to watch though. I live in SB and our tourneys at East Beach are the best!

Lot of these moves have a reason for being you know women's gymnastics because if you mess up and you're a guy your balls are done for
Oooh so THATS why men don’t do high beams. As a former competitive gymnast, if I had a quarter for everytime I’ve fallen on my cooch on a high beam, I’d have enough money to dare a guy to do a back flip on a high beam
Women are just as vulnerable in their genetalia, what are you on about? Just because their eggs are on the inside doesn't mean they can't take permanent damage from a blow there, and it's just as painful.
If you land your balls in the beam it isn’t that dangerous because your balls is more durable than you think they are. It would just be really painful.
@@pshemoo2019 Nah, man, you can literally do permanent damage. Especially falling on your testicles with full body weight. One of the big reasons why we developed so many nerve endings in our balls, is because hitting them, or twisting them the wrong way can literally stop you from being able to procreate.
celebration is truly the hardest bit !!!
I saw you at the US national competition! Great job!
Although as a male I'm impressed by our strength, women have some things we will never be able to do. Women are awesomely amazing! 🎉
The secret is the dress; you guys need to dress like that before you can do it. Try it and you will succeed. 🤣
Center of gravity plays an important role with balance. The men will have a more difficult time with the first move because their center of gravity is more in the chest area. Since the womens' center of gravity is in the hips, we don't see them struggle to do it like the men do.
The center of gravity in typical male bodies is higher than in typical female ones, but it's NOWHERE near being in the chest :P If the arms are raised straight up, it might approach the top of the abdominal cavity but that's a stretch. The person would have to have relatively long and/or heavy arms and short and/or light legs. In neutral posture it's usually still pretty close to or even below the top of the pelvis.
1:14 Oh Ian, NOOOO !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣📐

It’s so weird. For males their gymnastics is so easy but when they do woman’s gymnastics it’s hard but then we like cant belive they do it that bad then we try mens and we can’t do it- It’s weird 😂
Most of the things they do look tough to me, not easy haha. And if you really think about it, mens gymnastics is more focused or strength whereas womens is more focused on flexibility, so even though same sport, both look extremely different haha :) speaking as a non gymnast and purely from assumptions, for me it looks like mens gymnastics drains more energy and womens gymnastics requires more skill and balance, at the end of the day, both are difficult
@@unidentifiedddd It’s fact though
@@mandachelle98 that mens gymnastics are easy? absolutely not. Not sure we’re seeing the same thing
@@unidentifiedddd Oh wait- Sorry I was meaning facts about mens gymnastics takes more strength and woman’s takes more flexibility 😂 Sorry if it was confusng

Always thought it was hella weird that gymnastics was so different for men and women, both in costumes and events.
You think the guys should have onesies up their ass cracks like the women 🤣 jk
That "Costumes" part really had me wondering..
@@leg1187 Yeah why are the female leotards so weird? They are cut off at the @ss cheek when they could be shorts like the guys. It's so inappropriate and I hate that. I used to be a gymnast and I had to keep pulling the leotard down because of a wedgie. 😑
@@dsy529 I'm glad someone is speaking out. I'm a male but I always wondered if the male costumes and the female costumes were different for a very creepy resson.
@@leg1187 Thank you! It's so annoying to see people make excuses because males are "built differently". I understand that but the ladies can wear shorts too. And the weird female uniforms are the same for other sports like volleyball.
That wolf turn was mad cool
lmao the ending
Some of these guys are doing awfully well for a first try.
These guys are athletic. With time and practice, they can do it.
People be like: Female beach volleyball players try male court volleyball 🏐
Men and women have different centers of gravity. Even if the men can pull off some of those moves, it won't look the same.
@@michaelfranciotti3900 Have a little faith in our brothers, dang 😔
@@ZARDDRAM0N it's not like that. Women literally have a lower center of gravity. Which means we have different balance points. That means we literally move differently when performing certain moves. I'm not hating. I'm certain there's moves that the women won't perform the same as the men as well.
Probably not the same way though
love this 😂
The high beam is just insane.
There are few sports that clearly demonstrate secondary sex characteristics like gymnastics. Women are usually more flexible and men have greater lean muscle mass. Neither are better than the other, it just shows how amazing bodies are.
but gymnastics as a sport favors men b/c the strength it demands is at the extremes of what the human body can do, esp. if you look at the men's still rings event (which doesn't even exist for women as it takes so much strength), those guys are literally the strongest athletes in the world going by strength RELATIVE to bodyweight.
The flexibility required in gymnastics is NOT extreme, it only LOOKS extreme to untrained people. If you can do the splits, touch your toes without bending you back or your knees, do a german hang on a bar (which children easily do) - then you have all the flexibility in your hips, hamstrings, and shoulders that you'll need for gymnastics. It's an intermediate level, not an extreme level like the strength requirement. Even some of the advanced yoga poses demand more flexibility than gymnastics ever would. You want to see extremes of flexibility, look up contortionists - they're mostly women. The extreme positions they get their bodies into aren't very mobile or powerful and don't really have a function beyond demonstrating how flexible you are so you don't see them in gymnastics
@@helvete_ingres4717 What about the differences in the centers of gravity? That has an impact on gymnastics, yes?
I never really realised there were basically two different types of gymnastics for men and women. Also I admire sports like this where both men and women are successful and can have similar career opportunities, without it being forced. Gymnastics, volleyball, tennis, mma, sports like these. Whereas you look at something like basketball, which is my favourite sport, and the difference in talent and entertainment value between the two is crazy. The nba is so fun to watch and I spend hours every day debating, checking scores and watching games, where as the WNBA is just known for not being able to dunk, sucking at basketball, and then complaining that they don’t get payed millions like the guys, even though their own league loses millions and is subsidised by the nba. The nba has tried so hard to get the WNBA to work and be popular, but it just doesn’t work, despite all the special treatment.
But then I look at women’s rugby union, my country New Zealand recently hosted the women’s rugby World Cup, and the black ferns (nz women’s team) sold out most of their games I think. I watched every game on tv. Not because I was supporting women’s sports, but because it was just genuinely good rugby. They’re slower and weaker than the All Blacks obviously, but when everyone’s on the same level you don’t really notice, and their skill levels were comparable. A lot of the games were really exciting to watch, and as a country we were really proud of them when they won the tournament.
Having written this idk why it’s so long, sry.
Most sports simply aren’t made for female bodies. But we don’t need to mock the wnba just to uplift other female athletes. Notice that nobody is insulting these male gymnasts for not being as agile as the females in this video. I don’t believe that anyone is entitled to someone else’s money or earnings. But I rarely see anybody from the wnba “complaining” about that. They just relocate to another country where they can make more money. Regardless, none of those comparisons were very necessary.
@@LoneWulf278 no ones mocking these men cos they don’t claim to be good at this gymnastics and they’re even making fun of themselves. Whereas WNBA players say they’re just as good as the men, and that they deserve to be paid as such, but in reality they lose money so they’re lucky to even make anything at all.
@@finn54123 They really don’t say this. They know what they’re getting into when they touch a court. You want this scenario to be the case so that your comment can seem more appropriate. But go off with this weird random narrative.

0:45 I LAUGHED SO HARD OMGGG
Nice. After seeing a video about women's soccer and having a good laugh, this is a good next clip to view.
Since comments have established the differences are based on physiological differences … what happens when someone of a gender has the body that better suits the other?
People react uniquely to hormones and basically goes through a special puberty. Additionally, I think there’s the theory that sports chooses the sportsperson based on physicality. So perhaps it’s obvious regardless of gender, particular people can do a form that deviates from conventions. I love that!
There’s gonna be a boy/man gymnast who can do can do these routines. It’s very likely it’s nobody doing male gymnastics.
Edit: maybe in the future, sports should accept gender diversity and consider removing gendered-sports-roles, choosing a body shape/capability approach instead. Idk the consequences to competitions or sports as a cultural and functional concept, but it would be lovely if it worked.
@@shawnbay2211
Nah theres more than hormones
Female and male bodys have different bone structure and mass structure

you must not know anything about the sport
@@leothesouthpaw i know abt womens gymnastics, but y dont they have stuff on the beam and series??
This is what the whole debate on male sports forgets about… men are more suited for strenght based sports, but women are unparalleled on aesthetics based sports like gymnast and figure skating. Not saying men arent good at them, but they dont fill the same criteria, just as women dont do the same in sports like football
That truth is men are better at those sports by the same margin as football and all the others (maybe more)..you mention figure skating yet I assume you don't know anything about it, it is NOT the female skaters performing a quadruple axel jump and defying gravity like the men. You just think so because in many sports, 'they don't fill the same criteria' exists as a convention, often the event that's based most purely on 'aesthetic' (like rhythmic gymnastics) don't even exist for men at the Olympic level. If they competed on the same criteria (and if there were a significant will to do so, maybe they will) - the men would surpass the women on the same criteria, why would they NOT? The guys in this video simply haven't trained these movements the way the girls did. Whereas women don't compete in men's events like the still rings b/c..they just can't do the same things. There's a video here on youtube of female olympic gymnasts seeing AMATEUR males perform their routines and they even say the guys did it better. Like in any sport, amateur males surpass elite/olympic-level females - that's probably MORE true for gymnastics than most, as gymnastics is more purely about strength than most. What you don't seem to understand is that what you as a spectator call 'aesthetics'..IS a function of strength, it takes a LOT of strength to make something look effortless
