I didn't do any research but I was being generous with just 100. Not surprised that it's pretty much any male pro on the tour they would not be able to beat. I assessed that men had more speed. That's huge in tennis.
Horrific F3 crash

Hence my post stating I know little to nothing about the game except for the fact that it is boring.
I think golf would come close and I understand that some men can hit the ball further, but not every hole and every shot requires distance. Most shots in a game of golf are based on accuracy and judgement.
Bowling would be another sport.
Poker, since they have it on the sports channels.
Fishing derby's (these things smell like dick).
Shooting (any discipline) and equestrian events. Neither has any advantage over the other.
ok so anything you find boring is easy. It's boring to you but the fact they get paid lots of money means many people are watching and are interested. If it is so easy why not everyone join the pro tour. Quit your job. Make millions in any professional sport you find boring or know nothing about. I don't think you've ever played sports in your life otherwise you would know.
Jesus buddy calm down. I am just stating that tennis is boring. I am sure like any sport it is difficult to play, especially at an elite level. Just because I do not care for tennis does not mean I have never participated in any other sport. I have played several different sports, some of them at a very high level (when I was younger).
Other boring sports - Baseball is the king of boring. Golf is about as exciting as going to church. Curling will put most people to sleep. Football is both confusing and slow.
I like lots of sports and when someone tells me a sport I like is boring it does not bother me. Who the fuck cares? We all have different tastes.
This.. and HALO would not have changed the expansion/compression injuries of the mid to lower back from this kind of indecent. It is great to hear that everyone involved came out alive with treatable injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if Floercsh is back in the car for the 2019 season opener.
Understand she had seven hour surgery today.
Don't know if they brought in a specialist but I don't think of Macau as a center of spinal surgery.

Makes sense. One of the inherent dangers of open wheel racing is you can get "launched" if you touch wheels with another car. She was lucky in that is was relatively soft landing.
Formula Fords provide some of the most entertaining crashes.
Well, I guess it will go down in the books as a racing incident. When I hear a description of another driver "braking early" when a caution flag comes out - it's likely more that he simply got off the gas (as he should) before she noticed the caution. Sounds like she will be OK, which is a good thing.
Apparently Macau raised the curb at that corner this year to prevent touring and GT class from clipping the corner too tightly - this contributed to launching the car - but may have been a good thing as the car was launched enough that it's wheel missed the head of another driver and she flew into the fencing rather than the solid barrier. The fencing had also been raised a couple years ago. She's very lucky.

As you know, formula cars don't have brake lights, so you can be caught off guard if someone in front of you brakes unexpectedly. In addition, the ability to see a marshal waving a caution flag (or a light if they have them) can be greatly reduced if you're tucked up under the wing of the car in front of you. Not to mention, it's racing. Things happen in a fraction of a second. I agree, it's a racing incident.
I'm just speculating that the guy in front didn't brake - he just got off the gas early. He saw the caution, the guy behind her saw the caution. Anyway, shit happens - glad she's ok.
Ahhhh gotcha. Sometimes all it takes it takes is the person in front to lift (unexpectedly) to catch you off guard. When you're running lap after lap behind someone, you know their braking point for every corner. A little unexpected lift can catch you off guard. Happens more often than you think in a race, but thankfully with less dramatic consequences most of the time.
Glad she's alright. Cute too!

Ok I did some meditation. I'm calm now. Ice hockey is the sport I most enjoy playing but oddly if any team other than the Leafs is playing I find it boring to watch. I don't play golf, football, or curling but I can see the appeal. I can watch in spurts. Can't believe you find football boring. Even soccer I can watch but only the European league. The North American League is boring. I can watch most sports including volleyball. I agree though tennis can be boring to watch unless you play it. Baseball is boring unless it's the playoffs.
Avid golfer here... Yeah, it might be boring to watch (if you don't play) but it's not boring to play (and i grew up with adrenaline type sports). One of the hardest games to master too - because even when you're playing the best of your life - it's only fleeting and will disappear. That's what makes the pro game so amazing and why so many athletes from other sports gravitate towards golf - it's a never ending challenge and hugely competitive if you play with friends and bet (which is why there is a handicapping system). Nothing like a friendly wager to keep things interesting. It's also very social.
Anyway - a woman pro golfer would not be able to keep up with a male professional of equal stature. Not even close. Some women have tried - Michele Wie and Annika Sorenstam. Sorenstam was the best women's player for a few years and played a PGA event in 2003. She missed the cut. She was quite honest that she did not expect to make the cut. It's all about physical ability. Mentally - Sorenstam was as good as they come - but she was hitting fairway woods into the green when men were hitting mid-irons or wedges. That's the difference. Putting and chipping - women can keep up. Driving and approach shots - they are at a disadvantage. Of course - they would kill any amateur (man or women) but the Pro game is on an entirely different level.
And back to motorsports and women - I forgot about drag racing - with Shirley Muldowney who was Top Fuel Champion three times.
