Just a Postscript:

The whole issue of females competing in athletics is ages-old, and needs to be left in the past. Heck, I can remember when women weren't allowed to run in marathons becauses "medical experts" said their uteruses would "fall out"...LOL

Humans are humans...and either you have "Warrior" in your make-up, or you don't.

I hate to even mention the word gymnastics on this site, but anybody remember a little gal named Karrie Strug?

Thinking about her having the guts to stick that landing with a taped-up broken leg still makes me fall out.

The typical 14 yo Spartan girl of 3000 years ago would destroy the typical 14 yo boy today, and probably eat his liver as a victory celebration.

Our attitudes about boys/girls are all about social conditioning, and not based in reality.
