"full of running" <- this one is used regularly
"legs going ten to the dozen"
"usual head of steam"
"bouncing blonde ponytail and piston-like thighs"
"pocket rocket of the highest order"
"wispy mouser in all its follicular glory"
"scything and sumptuous"
"bottled in there like a groundhog"
"little staticky fizz of a rugby player"
"eyes alight, full of mischief"

long distance swimming is a sport women excel at over men!!! also womens rugby. it’s very interesting because yes fundamentally it’s the same as mens rugby with scrums and lineouts and tackling laws, but it’s played very differently. like in womens rugby they tend to be overall smaller than the men so the forwards are fitter and the speed differences are less noticeable and therefore all the players can be utility.
like in my experience i’ve gone from winger, fullback, centre and flanker and can play all those positions pretty easily (i prefer being a flanker tho) whereas in the men’s game the physical differences between a winger and a flanker would be way too big for either of them to even try the other position.
i just think comparing men and women’s sports is stupid, men and women are different and we play differently and have different bodies, imo women’s soccer is more interesting than men’s football because it’s played quite differently to the men’s game, which is why i only watch the women’s world cup.
basically every game women play becomes their own because we’re cooler and more interesting and i think coming up with a “woman sport” could be interesting, but i think every sport can be a “woman sport” because we make it different (and better!)
we need to come up with sports centered around female bodies. fr I mean it but I know jack shit about sports so I wouldn't know where to start with creating one.
