      In sixth grade at most schools? Probably most of them. That’s right around when most boys just start hitting puberty and girls tend to generally be bigger and more athletic than boys until then.

      In general? Gymnastics, figure skating, cheerleading, skiing (best downhill skier in the world is a woman)…
