I'm a very big gymnastics fan, but not so much college gymnastics. Gymnasts are the best pure athletes. What they do is unmatched anywhere else in sport. But your point is solid - for years I thought the talk about the 'sexualization of gymnasts' was nonsense, but it's real. That said, there are plenty of legit male fans of gymnastics, both the men and women.

This is McKayla Maroney in 2012 at the London Olympics. It's the best vault in history, IMO. A male gymnast did the same vault and you see the comparison here. She's far higher, landing is better etc. It's incredible that humans do this.
