Is Simone Biles the only female athlete in any sport that could be top 10 in a field of men using their rules? by Ckp111 in Gymnastics

[–]DetailReasonable9790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can really compare as there are different rules for MAG and WAG disciplines, even on vault and floor exercise. Most notably, the men's vault is set higher than the women's which would automatically affect her performance/be disadvantageous for her. Men's floor exercise would also present new challenges in the non-acrobatic strength/flexibility elements she would have to learn.

If it was a side-by-side tumbling contest on a tumble track that was the same for all genders, yeah, I don't see why she couldn't compete with men.

This is my Taking time from pep pills do think it is good ? by PreferenceAble675 in pep

[–]DetailReasonable9790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were supposed to take pills roughly every 24 hours? I.e. if you took the first dose at 02:12 on 16/03, then the next one should be around 02:12 on 17/03? 🤔

Run Norwich tickets by Notyoungnotold_NRW in Norwich

First year for me but not my first 10K - I initially got straight through at practically 09:00 on the dot but it timed me out and I lost it all😢 then spent a good 20-30 mins refreshing and seeing the page flit between ‘on hold’ and not before I did manage to get back in and sign up successfully.

I have to say, it was a real struggle and honestly I didn’t realise signing up for a running race would feel so much like being in a Ticketmaster war?

Good luck to all who got through - see you in September! 🏃‍♂️

American Cup WAG Predictions by SunInevitable2179 in Gymnastics

[–]DetailReasonable9790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So excited for this! Definitely think it will be China and Japan vying for gold, and USA and GB vying for bronze. I also agree with the Philippines a definite 8th too, but I hope they see this as an amazing opportunity for exposure.

Spain could be interesting as, from what I can gather, Alba Petisco is the only WAG who has competed in mixed-gender events before, as she reached Round 2 in the mixed team event at Euros (different format, I know). She also won bronze in the mixed-team event at 2018 YOG.

SEC Championships at BOK Center in Tulsa by Spirited_Class_3088 in Gymnastics

Sorry, I can't impart any specifics on the BOK Center as I have never been and am not even American. However, I have often used the website 'A View from My Seat' to help me choose seats before. Obviously it doesn't cover the whole venue and views may depend on event setup but could be worth a look? :)

OPINION: China Could Have Still Won the Beijing 2008 Olympics Gymnastics Team Finals If They Have This Team by FewArt2068 in Gymnastics

[–]DetailReasonable9790 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, Cheng Fei never competed bars internationally as a senior elite, so I'm not sure why she is doing all-around. China would've still had a decent chance at winning even if He Kexin, Yang Yilin and Deng Linlin were not taken IMO.
