The women are less robotic than the men, and because you can't see too many shots that only men can hit that women can't… and because you have no real sense of the distance of shots on TV (ball is hit, ball is seen against sky, ball lands on green), it's often the same from that perspective.

Men gymnasts are stronger than women gymnasts. Flexibility only goes so far. And I think men still do more events, like the pommel horse, that women don't do.

OK, but I don't have a clue what your point is.  You noticed, I hope, that I said "For me . . .", I'm not prescribing that for anyone else.  Personal preference.

Describing women's gymnastics as the pinnacle of the sport because they're more flexible is more a statement of fact than opinion and ignores that the men both do more and are much stronger than the women. I don't think that women's gymnastics > men's gymnastics. It's borderline opinion/fact. Men are stronger, fact. Are they stronger than women are more flexible? I think so.

The LPGA/PGA Tour stuff is my statement of opinion or preference.
