I'd also like to state that this is no way intended to be a derogatory question for women.
But I just wanted to know the reasons for the common claim that women are just as good as men at sports, when unfortunately this is not true.
Its nothing to be embarresed about its just simple fact.
I do respect women athletes, however I find it impossible to accept the claim that women are better than men at sports.
THis question was raised after reading responses from olympic countries that women won more medals than men in, they claimed that this made the women better. When in fact both women and men one a gold, silver, and bronze medal, they just came from different nations.
A perfect example of this is soccer the USA or Canada's women teams do better than the mens teams but who would in a game? The mens team hands down.
Sorry, but the facts are there to be seen, if you can prove otherwise I'd love to here your opinions.

Also to say that you have a female friend who could beat me at a sport, maybe true. But I do not represent all men in that sport and therefore I'd be willing to bet anything that I could find a male somewhere who is better than that female.
For example Serena Williams sould beat me easily at tennis, but I'm sure I could find a male who could beat her. See what I'm getting at?

NOrmal1 I like your answer as you tried to back up your belief with some evidence, however as I explained in the answer above, and I will again it is actually your answer that is flawed.
Yes some (or all) LPGA tour golf players would easily beat me at golf, but once again like the tennis example I could find a MALE who could beat them...Tiger Woods, VJ Singh etc.

The world's fastest women are now getting slower, while the men keep getting faster.
Reduced use of anabolic steroids may be the reason women runners are no longer becoming like men.

Men are superior in sports that reguire strength, speed and instinctual processing (woman comprehend too much before making decision...I scientific fact, not machoism). These three variable cover a wide range of sports. A few exceptions might be something like bowling, pool--finesse sports. Yes, there are women out there that can beat men. When it comes down to it, however, the world's best male athlete could beat the worlds best female athlete, b/c there will be a disparity in the previously stated variables. Wie can drive the ball as far as she wants. Unfortunately, there will most likely always be a male the can't drive it farther.

If the question had referred to 'some' sports then I might agree as there are some aspects of the physique that tend to be greater developed in males than females (muscular mass). As a result males also tend to have a higher stamina in 'impact sports'.
However this is a generalization. There exist many females who are stronger than the typical guy, but I do not think that physical strength lies withing the domain of women.
On the other hand there exist many sports where strength is not nearly as important as dexterity and it is here that I feel that females even the odds.
As such my opinion is that it should be accepted that there essentially are differences between the capabilities of men and women and that those differences should be seen as more or less evening out with each other.
In all honesty this goes far beyond the realm of sports and also beyond the superficial aspects of science but delves right into the depths of philosophy and serious science.

not all men are superior to all women at sports - At Golf Anika would kick my butt - drive the ball farther - make more putts - be more accurate with iron play - I imagine she would be superior to maybe 99% of all male golfers.
Katie Smith or Lisa Leslie could beat me at basketball. They would be superior to a majority of men also I believe. Marion Jones can run faster and jump higher than almost ALL men. Your generalization is flawed.
