you know how girls can join the boys baseball and wrestling teams? so a boy tried since a couple years ago to join the girls gymnastics team, but he lost the appeal. Boys do have different events than girls in gymnastics, plus they said they don't want boys to take girls spots in sports. maybe he was planning on doing the girls events? there is a picture of him on the uneven bars in the article; lots of boys in our gym like playing on the uneven bars and beam too! the boy is actually coaching the girls hs gymnastics team there now! article: "Court keeps gymnast from suing WIAA" - http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061201/WDH0101/612010535

I think it's totally unfair. I compete ymca gymnastics and one y didn't have a boys' program so he competed on the girls team. I didn't mind competing against a guy-they usually aren't too gracefu.lol. But seriously, none of those parents or ymca directors had any problem at all.

flyingflex: did he do the girls events then?

Yeah, he did.

cool! :D

there actually is a guys gymnastics team at my highschool. they're not too great though. lol!
