It seems so. What would be the purpose of such a bot? Luring people to the linked site? (I didn’t click it)
I’ve reported the probable-bot post anyway.
Yes, I’d forgotten about sailing.
OK, I just checked the link. It’s all in French, so I’m not too sure exactly what it is, but it looks like it’s about some sort of herbal something-or-other, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the links were to buy some of whatever it was.
When I used to compete it was the case that women did reasonably well in rifle events, but not in pistol.
Famously, Margaret Murdock won a silver medal in rifle competition (which at that time included men and women) at the 1976 Olympics - the only time a woman has done that. She had the same score as the gold medal winner, but was second based on the tie-breaking scheme.
Here’s a quote from the link above:
Ten pin bowling, I’m sure I’ve seen women competing against men in that.
Possibly - but Googling seems to suggest that professional bowling has separate men’s and women’s divisions, and that men dominate the top level of the sport.
There are two separate questions being answered here. One group of people is answering by noting sports in which women compete without a separate catagory. The other is answering by questioning if there are any sports in which women can compete with men at the highest levels.
The answer to the former question is that there are several. The answer to the latter question is that there are very few. Equestrian events may be the only ones easily brought to mind.
Actually, I think there are three questions here: There’s a distinction between sports where women can compete, and ones where they actually do. Once upon a time, there was a question as to whether any other nationalities could compete with the Irish in boxing. Now, of course, it’s clear that other nationalities have no trouble competing, but for cultural reasons, they didn’t try before. It’s possible that something of the same thing is true in some of the sports mentioned here. Is the relative shortage of women in the top ranks of shooting sports, for instance, because they’re inferior at it, or simply because fewer women go into shooting sports?
Some drivers are not happy that Danica Patrick gets a break since she only weighs around 100 lbs, men average about 150 in the IRL. That 50 lbs can make a difference since the cars don’t weigh that much.
In Formula 1 the cars must meet a minimum weight with the driver included so there Danica would not get a break.
Where? It’s separate in America, but I don’t know about other countries.
Women compete at the highest level of yacht racing, and have broken several world records, including fastest solo circumnavigation.
I’ll have to take your word on that; my fuzzy recollections of the America’s Cup races don’t bring to mind either female crew or female captains…
Curling in the United States: most clubs will have men’s, women’s and mixed leagues. For inter-club bonspiels, there’s usually men’s events, women’s events, and mixed couples (two men, two women). Inter-club “friendlies” are usually mixed. In the Olympics and international competition, competition is single-sex.
Is there an American pro-league of curling that is coed?
At the top level, motorsports require great endurance and strength, which might be a consideration.
America3 was an all female crewed boat that very nearly represented the US in the America’s Cup in 1995.
As a one time event, Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in tennis:
I don’t think women compete in European Formula One races, but over the pond there have been a few women competing in NASCAR events as well as dragster racing.
Just to be clear, badminton is not a sport where men and women compete against each other (except in mixed doubles). And it requires a lot of power and athleticism for smashes and jumps so women would definitely not be able to compete with men.
Shirley Muldowney won a lot of drag races in the 70s and 80s, she won the top fuel title 3 times.
