re: What women's Olympic sport could you beat the gold medalist in?

If you're good enough to beat the best woman, then you are likely good enough to compete for a spot on the men's national team

When I was young and playing well, golf and maybe tennis I’d have a chance.
Tennis would have been harder. Navratilova was pretty darn good, if she goes down with a cramp I’d have a chance against the 2nd best.

Not me, but my college roommate at an SEC school was captain of his team and never was ranked above 350th in the world as a pro and could beat any woman on the planet in straight sets 6/0 6/0 6/0. So, it’s tennis. The worst thing in the universe was that fiasco with a 50 something Bobbie Riggs playing Billie Jean King (who may have had more testosterone) and was 20 years younger, in the f’ing Astrodome on international TV. She should have had to play Bjorn Borg or even Rod Laver. I digress.

Boxing, probably

One of the shooting competitions that just requires practice and hand-eye coordination. If it requires being faster, quicker, or stronger, I'm boned in the same weight class. They're Olympians and are peak physical specimens. I'm not. shite, even if I outweigh them by 50 pounds, I'm fricked. They practice every day. I like tacos.
Seriously. Tacos are delicious.

Do I get 4 years to prepare?
Boxing, and I'd drop down a lot of weight.

Lifting your fat arse off the couch doesn't count

Bought a 72in road grader today. Only way to get it off the trailer was too get a strap and farmer carry it maybe 4 feet.
Not 100% sure of the weight, but there isn't a woman on the planet doing that.

I'll set up 3 position rifle for you. I was second alternate to Seoul. My average then was mid 1160s (out of 1200). The problem is women are essentially as good as men in most shooting disciplines. Women at the time shot a half match (600 points) and say a 580 would have been good for about top then. Women are even better now, the top woman in the qualification round this week shot an (full match) 1182, the top man in qualifications this week shot 1183 so almost perfect parody. My best matches in college would put me 5th ot 6th in women qualy now.
Even though I am still a competitive shooter I shoot a different (non-Olympic) discipline. Just as a guess off the couch this week I MIGHT be able to manage a 1060-1080. That is light years behind the women today and I would be so crippled after shooting a full match in kneeling I probably couldn't stand up for 15 minutes.
Assuming you have good breathe control, good heart beat awareness and can manage a 2 stage 2-5 oz trigger you might be able to break 800 if someone helped you set up the rifle. Just setting up a free rifle would be like a monkey fricking a football for 99% of people and you have to change over the rifle in between positions.
As for me, there is no women's Olympic sport I could win a gold in now. There was one woman from the refugee team that competed in the women's cycling time trial I could beat and she was painfully slower than the rest of the field. The rest of the women's field would drop me like a bad habit on the first day of Lent.
