Holy shite. This sport is one where the men would absolutely crush the women.

Any sport that doesn't involve running, jumping, swimming or feats of strength / agility.

I was a very average beach player and even the best women out couldn't hit with the men on the regulation nets, and it was a joke to play on the women's (lower) nets.

Really the difference in men and women volleyball comes down to jumping ability and flat out power. Even the hardest swing I've had to block/return from a woman (who by the way played on the national beach tour) barely compared to guys playing on beginner nets.

Lsu women's basketball would beat lsu men's basketball. Lsu men's basketball is absolutely terrible.

Equestrian if it was D1. One of the only sports in the world where men and women are actually competitive and are included in the same "games".

Archery

English longbows of the type that won Crecy and Agincourt were 6ft long and required incredible upper body strength. Women would need a crossbow.

So "sports" that don't require athleticism and so should probably not even be considered sports.

Curling


They do mixed and men vs womens skins games all the time on TSN, the women get absolutely drummed by the men's teams.

Men can throw significantly harder than women which changes the strategy of the game entirely.

Well shite. That leaves rifle shooting and car racing. I don't see any reason women couldn't compete at car racing.

This, archery, rifle and maybe diving would be the most likely.

Some SEC schools have fishing as a sport. Maybe that?

Yes. But they'd roll LSU's women. Scotlandville High would roll UConn's women..

You actually fricking thought this? Phelps could beat the women's relay team of four, much less swim. The WR for women in certain events are achieved by thousands of men annually. When I was a swimmer, my 50 Free time was 21.1 which could not even sniff D1 quality scholarship money, but could win Women's NCAAs. Come on!

I actually think women are better than men in Biathalon as they can control their heart rate better (or shoot accurately with a higher heart rate).

Other than that, I've got nothing.

The LSU men's b-ball team could possibly outscore the Uconn women's b-ball team, but I'm not so sure.
