Do men snowboarding go faster than women?

Question

By watching this televised, it seems that women go more slowly than men at this sport.

If this is so, is it because men are typically stronger and heavier than women?

Answer 1

Yes, Generally because of men's size and weight and strength they go faster.

Answer 2

Si.

Answer 3

Much like ski racing, male snowboard racers go faster than women because of weight and strength.  Snowboarding is a very athletic sport.  The effort you put into it does make a difference.  That said, I ride with some girls that can out-ride guys twice their size.  So skill also has a lot to do with it!
