Every year there is a bicycle race across the entire US, a solo, nonstop type event. Some years a women wins outright (beats all of the men) Isa Pulver won the overall in 2023....at over 50 years of age! Race Across America - Wikipedia

Amanda Coker performed the greatest feat of endurance athletic performance ever seen by riding 86,000 miles in one year Amanda Coker - Wikipedia

Țara Dower holds the fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail among other fastest hikes Tara Dower - Wikipedia

So there are some hard core endurance events where women can win outright. It's a long way from when we thought women's uteruses would fall out if they ran a marathon. Boston, 1967: When marathons were just for men - BBC News

And, of course, women physicians have better outcomes then their male counterparts. So, while not sports, there's that. Comparison of Hospital Mortality and Readmission Rates for Medicare Patients Treated by Male vs Female Physicians - PMC

But golf? I want to see somebody hit it 350 yards! I can hit 250 on a good day myself.

Did any fall out? Have to ask dear wife if she knows where hers is.

Women's sports are just not as exciting...Even female sports fans don't watch.
WNBA is beyond bankrupted. Women's tennis is just an annoying scream fest
