Female vs Male athletes

Does a sport exist where that sports best female athletes could defeat that sports best male athletes in competition?
Cetainly couldn't happen in America's big 4 sports, but what about others? Billiards? Tennis?
Gymnastics seems like a possible sport where it could happen, but do they do the same things in their competitions? I really don't know.

Not on a completely equal playing field.

you think female gymnasts can perform on the rings like males do?

I don't know what gymnasts do. I don't watch them.

Diving?

Seriously, what is going on today with all the threads bitching about/shitting on women? Is the OT over women?

Ultra long distance swimming, female's greater body fat% arguably confers an advantage. Possibly also ultrarunning, although this is much less clear.
Men and women have competed on an equal basis in equestrian events for decades. Sure, the horse does most of the work, but there is a big human physical component as well.

Just a guess, but I imagine the guys would suck at the balance beam.

Are you the guy that made that joke in the other thread? Because it wasn't funny then either.

How long of a distance are we talking about for swimming?

I am sure some nice natural beauty will read this and come out of the woodwork to see how noble you are and suck your wiener.

This is correct.
The longest continuous run ever is currently held by a man, but he broke a woman's record. They both ran more than 300 miles without stopping, that's plenty athletic enough for me.

That clever insult has already been made. Thanks though.

Like swimming the English Channel type distances.

Ultrarunning is the only sport in which men and women are comparatively equal.

Don't know about all skiing, but for ski jumping, it's apparently close. From the 2013 World Cup competition in Lillehammer, the average jump for the top 20 men was less than a meter longer than the top 20 women, and the top woman would have earned a silver medal if both sexes competed together.
