Diving? The women seem more flexible and perhaps splash less than men. Does not appear to require brute strength as much as strength with finesse.

Ok, for fun, here is a scene from [Coneheads](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q-lFxf9-p8) illustrating the splash thing.

Altho, being a judged sport, it would be hard to tell who was better unless the divers were all required to do the same tricks.
