Re: Pentathlon B
Ha. For us, I was the girl for our team (everyone else was a guy.) We needed a girl for hula hooping. If that was one of the physical challenges, I would automatically get it. But jump roping doesn't really need a certain gender.

Re: Pentathlon B
I'm sorry. None of the guys on our team can hula hoop.

Re: Pentathlon B
Actually, it is much easier for a girl to hula-hoop than it is for a guy. The body shape of a mature female human is much more conductive than it is for a male of similar age. We don't have the right curves, if you want it in the vernacular.

Re: Pentathlon B
Yes, but there are those of us ("us" meaning persons of the female gender) who lack the amount of muscle coordination neccesary to hula-hoop without looking like a total idiot. I might also add that some teams have all-male Pentathlon teams.

Re: Pentathlon B
That's true- but it's more likely for a girl to be able to hula-hoop than it is for a boy. My mom can do it very well, and one of my sisters could when she was 3. Not saying that all girls can, but in my experience more can than boys.

Re: Pentathlon B
Gender doesn't really matter, in my opinion, but girls may simply be better at these tasks than guys. We were all playing street hockey or playing with our calculators when we could have been practicing hula hoops or jump ropes. (Well, I was at least, I can't speak for everyone)

Re: Pentathlon B
It doesn't have to do with gender so much as body shape. An "hourglass" body shape is certainly more conductive to hula-hooping. Girls are more likely to have this, but I know some guys who come close to having one and some girls who don't. Since gender can kind of control shape, I think my statement is valid.
