I'm thinking synchronized swimming may trump gymnastics.

Soccer is pretty ghey...
Then there is figure skating (if that even counts as a sport).

The most manly sport is Bocci...

I'm guessing you've never have played soccer because it is an awsome sport and not even close to "ghey".

Figure skating is pretty "ghey" because of the flaming outfits but otherwise is pretty tough even though I would hardly classify it as a sport.

I think rugby is pretty tough, football as well.

No way! Wrestlers wear a singlet AND roll around with other men.

Fair enough. However, I'm not sure if that fits into the category of "least-manly."

Tennis is very fruity.

Figure Skating is not a sport. In order for something to be considered a sport, there needs to be a discernible resolution that anyone can see. It cannot be decided by judges.

Figure skating is like a beauty pageant. It's a competition, sure. But it is not a sport.

Most manly always is and always will be full contact football, specifically the NFL. There is nothing more manly than Chris Simms finishing out a game with a ruptured spleen. I'd like to see anybody else in any other sport do that. It's never going to happen. Not to mention, how many times have players with bad concussions gone back out to finish the game. They play on sprained ankles, broken fingers, torn ligaments. It doesn't stop them from going out there and doing their job. Now that's manly!! Heck Mark Schlereth had 29 surgeries in his career. No other sport has things like that.

Probably better off being blind on a date like that.

No. Per Shinto ritual rules, women are not even allowed to walk into the rope circle where they hold the sumo match.

Agreed, to be good at it requires excellent conditioning and endurance, too.
