I'm certain you'll find certain sports where females have an innate statistical advantage. Ultra endurance might be one. Think gymnastics is another one. It's usually when we are talking about raw physical strength where there is a clear male advantage, but for most sports raw physical strength is such an important aspect that if you are lacking at it no amount of skill can close the gap.

Of course gender gaps also pop up in games like chess which is funny. Personally I suspect that men are "smarter" than women as whole in the sense that, they're better at chess, women probably are more sensible than spending inordinate amounts of time to get good at a game that won't benefit them in any way besides simply "to win". So really who is more intelligent?

I suspect women are largely at a disadvantage due to the lack of the penis. Since men do at least half of their thinking with it, it stands to reason that women lack the penile intelligence necessary to understand the complex balance between the male supercomputer of combined powers of penis, stomach and brain working together in glorious discord.

Iirc men tend to be at more extremes of the bell curve for intelligence than women. So you get more geniuses (and also more idiots) whereas women tend to be more in the middle of it. That could explain some of it if there's like 100 men and 100 women and the mens 5 geniuses would outnumber the womens 1.

I don't think women actually do have advantage in gymnastics with the exception of bounce moves, that involve open leg bounces, where the crotch hits the floor and rebounds (I think for obvious reasons). Or certain moves where extreme higher end flexibility is involved. But a lot of gymnastic elements and even entire disciplines, are based off leg and upper body strength, so there are numerous gymnastic elements/fields that males are innately better at. I do gymnastics/acrobatics at an amateur level, so I see it in action all the time.

As for the smartness of spending a lot of time working hard to get good at a 'sport' for no real reason, well it's extremely fucking pleasurable. My mental health has never been better. My mental health has actually pretty much always been fine and I'm someone who finds regular contentment even when everything is shit. But with constant exercise and physical goals I'm nearly always happy. No matter what else is going on, my main emotion is a steady happiness with regular bouts of elation. I'm pretty sure humans are meant to be very physical and in a world where it's easy to be sedentary, sport of some sort is probably essential to most people.

(I also get to see some extreme cognitive dissonance in action as everyone I know in the online gymnastics community agrees that giving young gymnastics girls Lupron to delay their puberty will fuck up their long-term health. While a lot of the same people 'support trans-kids' and campaign against any legislation that might limiting access to Lupron for those kids.)
