Which female athletes could beat a Top 100 male?

Athletics is a good way of judging this. Just look at the world records, hundreds of men every year run faster than the fastest woman of all time.

How many men will go sub 3:50 in 1500m this year?

Just look at the top high school track times for boys this year. The top marks (and many others) are much, much better than the world records for women.

43 women have won nobel prizes, numnuts. Do you really think men are smarter than women?

Top women golfers could beat top 100 male golfers, granted they would need to be having a pretty bad off day.

Yes I do NJ trash. How many nobel prizes have men won? Are those 43 nobel prizes in the sciences? Or largely ceremonial and political ones like Nobel Peace Prize? What have women invented? Let me prepare myself for a funny knee-slapper. Something hugely obscure?

Here are a few of the recent Nobel Prize winners. The men always win the legitimate ones. The women will get the phony ones for Lit and Peace.

So 98 of top 100 are men?

Which is why there are SOOOOO many more female Nobel Laureate scientists than males.

But the question was "which female athletes could beat a top 100 male"? If chess was a sport (it's not), then the top female (#62) could beat the 100th best male. Try to keep up.

But chess is not a sport. So your example is totally unrelated to the question.

Ronda Rousey could beat Bubba Jenkins in an MMA match.

Women beat men in open water long distance swimming. Their fat protects them better from the cold.

In the 2012 olympic 10k open water swim, the women's gold medal winner would have been 3 minutes behind the 2nd to last place finisher in the men's event.

The last place finisher in the men's event was way off the back, and would have finished 2nd to last in the women's event.

I say none. Do you think there are a hundred 135-140 lb. men on this entire earth who could beat Rousey? Easily.

Thru-hiking the AT.

Every time I think the whiny misogynisys of lrc couldn't possibly be any more pathetic, a thread like this pops up.

Ultra running. No doubt

As well as non-physical sport like chess etc

10k isn't long distance in this respect. I was thinking of distances like crossing the English Channel. For example Gertrude Ederle set the record in 1926 by 2+ hours.

Agreed!

On a given day I think Chrissy Wellington could place top 25 in Kona

The uneven bars in gymnastics.

That rhythmic gymnastic thing where they whirl a long ribbon around.

figure skating where they get thrown by the male and spin around, they're better at that part.

Marit Bjoergen

Caster Semenya, someday soon

If the sport was covering the Appalachian Trail in the least amount of time, Jennifer Pharr Davis would safely be in the top 100.

Actually, the top two.
