OK, I took a random event from Rio 2016, the 10,000m final:
Women's race: 1st = Almaz AYANA (ETH) - 29:17.45
Men's race: 32nd (and last) = Mohammed AHMED (CAN) - 29:32.84
So the answer is yes. :) The guy who came in 31st was faster than the women's race winner though.
Ahmed has also run a 12:58 5k! Ayana would stand ZERO chance if Moh had cared to do anything other than jog the last few laps of that race.

I was waiting to see if someone had posted the correct answer.
im sure this has been commented before but this happens frequently in NASCAR lol...

Non-idiot: "As for Annika Sorenstam, she said she picked the Colonial tournament because it had a relatively short and tight course where her lack of long drives wouldn't be as much of a handicap as it would on other courses, so it seems like she might not have done as well at other tournaments. In the first round, she led the field in driving accuracy, but she putted poorly both days. From what her playing partners and the press said at the time, I had the impression that if she had played it a few years in a row, she probably would have made the cut sometimes. Regardless, she did beat some pros who also didn't make the cut, including Geoff Ogilvy, who won the U.S. Open a few years later and has won over $30m on the PGA tour. She finished only two strokes behind Sergio Garcia."
Armstrong-idiot: "Not really comparable. Women golfers don't play off the same tees as the men."
Non-idiot: "Uhhhhh...no you idiot. Everyone in a PGA tour event has to play from the same tee. This is common sense."
Armstrong-idiot: "Yeah and she didn't make the cut."
Non-idiot: "Seriously? I said that in the first post. Pros miss the cut in every PGA event - that's what a "cut" does. She beat pros. This is precisely what the OP asked."
Armstrong-idiot: "Yeah but Price said it was a publicity stunt so it doesn't count."
What a moran.
Then you won't feel so lonely here, will you? A speculative question requires a definitive answer to a simple mind. Like yours.

Very long distance swimming( though if more fat guys swam that might change) , sports that aren't primarily athletic( billiards) , Sports that aren't sports( chess), where the athlete is an animal( horse riding) , or there isn't one(car racing)
Gymnastics. Many of the events are different but vault is the same. . Mykayla Maroney used to do the same vault as many top males, but she could go higher. I am sure Simone Biles could vault better than some males as well.

Wrong. This has been done before too. There are videos on YouTube showing guys easily outperforming the females on every single routine that the women do.

Even the little floor dancing/tumbling?
Watch the NBC video from the Olympic comparing Maroney’s vaults to the top male who was from Japan. Her vaults were better.
Both the original question and the question of whether you can form a cogent argument have been blessed with definitive answers in this thread.

I was going to say that at he very least Maroney’s vault in the all around or team or whatever (not when she choked in the individual) was easily better than what half pro gymnasts could vault.
The answer is yes. This was in a sport where size and strength are the most important qualities for the athletes. A woman played in a mid-level (I think second or third division) professional hockey league for men for a couple of years and got significant playing time. If this can happen in hockey I’m sure there are other sports where skill or endurance is more important than size and strength where more women overlap with men at the professional levels.

I think you could hang on to the award a while longer.
Ahmad has run 27:02. Also, what is the Olympic qualifying standard? Faster than 29:17 I'd guess.

How would you know?
When Paula ran her 2:15 she was the fastest marathoner that year in Great Britain.....man or woman.
So for that year, in the sport of "professional marathon running" in Great Britain, the best woman was better than the best man.
Cold-water distance swimming, like English Channel or US to Cuba.
Multi-week running, like the Appalachian Trail.
No

It wouldn’t be a real sport where contact is allowed. It would have to be a competition like bowling, golf or pool. Basketball would be one of the worst examples. A good jv athlete without much skill could dominate a WNBA game
long distance swimming, women may have an advantage.
ultra marathon

woman beats man over 150 miles by a couple of hours or something, drinks beer along the way.
plus hanging on a bar, women beat most of the men most of the time. google fear factor.
intriguing.
so ya, women can beat men in select things.
plus, do you really think you can beat grace jones in a fight?
