USA Golds by gender.. Male 17.. Female 29. Enough said.

Nice. That'll offend his feudalistic sensibilities.

Oh yeah, that reminds me of this:

Give credit where it is due! It was a tremendous performance by the likes of Missy Franklin and Gabby Douglas...

No one is comparing Missy to Micheal Phelps or Allyson Felix to Usian Bolt.

Hardly a fair comparison. Usain Bolt dwarfs almost all others, male or female. With six gold medals and counting.

And Phelps is a bit of a freak, sportingly speaking.


You could compare Jessica Ennis with Ashton Eaton, Or Serena Williams with Andy Murray.

murray would destroy serena. some dude ranked outside the top 100 would probably beat her

not a fair comparison

I thought he was talking in terms of personality.

Was this just about muscular power?

So if missy won 7 golds she is still inferior to a man who won one?

well it depends, if her time is FASTER than the man in 4 out of the 7 races then she will NOT be considered inferior.

It's not that complicated

You really are that thick aren't you. Remind me what you are doing in the US again?

Got to laugh at the irony....

Stop seeking attention.

So what are you doing in the US?

Yeah, and Bolt's obviously a waste of space as well as he couldn't outrun a cyclist, a racehorse or a Formula 1 car...

In the 400m swimming medley, Ye Shiwen stunned the crowds when she set a new world record and swam the last leg faster than her male counterpart. An American swimming coach immediately labelled her swim "unbelievable" and "disturbing".

Perhaps you can't win - even when you win.

PP you never did answer my point on the other thread regarding Princess Anne & Zara Phillips beating men in direct head-to-head competition.

Do you still maintain they should be considered inferior, and shouldn't have been sports-personality of the year ?

Growler,

The fact that you are naming an exception proves my point.

Obviously there will be 1 or 2 women that can beat men but the world records in every sport show that men are far far superior and its a bit of a disgrace to have both genders in the same category.

See, this is where we disagree ..... nobody is disputing that men are indeed generally faster and stronger than women, and will win one-on-one contests where they are the main factors.

I gave equestrian sport as an example of skill being the major factor where they can compete head to head - shooting is another where speed and strength are not huge factors.

The point is though, in any given sport, if any female dominates their sport in a given competition like say Michael Phelps or Sir Chris Hoy at Beijing olympics, or over a period of time almost unchallenged as for example Pete Sampras at his peak ...... then if there isn't a male equivalent in that sport, I don't see how you can argue they aren't the best

The same Seppo coach who forgot all about unbelievable and disturbing when a fifteen year old American beat Adlington a few days later.

Anyway, didn't USA actually lose a few medals compared to last time? Their bed buddies Iran also had a decent games.

Waste of time Growls he is so indoctrinated that he is incapable of recognizing logic..

9 years. Out in 6 with good behaviour.

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of vegetable oil from the vegetable oil can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back 'fore it conflagrates in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up in my burqa, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again
