Are there any pro women in any pro sport that could beat the worst pro man in that sport?

Worst? Sure.

Don't pro ultrarunners come in behind the #1 female regularly?

Annika Sorenstam might have been able to make a PGA tour cut back in the day. She tried once and came pretty close. Don’t know if it’s still possible since the advent of big head drivers, since the men drive it so much further these days

Pro in ultra running is kinda undefined still. But if were talking top 20 pro males...they destroy the women. Theres a lot of sorta pros...which is actually just sponsored social media runners.

basketball most likely. There's definitely basketball chicks that can beat the worst NBA players

I don't think this is true, but I think Serena Williams in her prime could beat the worst mens pro tennis player.

That’s definitely not true

Whoever she bears would be a poor excuse for a male “pro”

I would agree about the basketball. There's probably 50 pro basketball women that can beat some guys like Manut Bol. They can steal most of their balls and run circles around them. Some can probably even beat Shaq 1 on 1.

Basketball is more of a women's sport anyway.

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.

This can happen even in track and field

For example, Dezerea Bryant would've destroyed last-placing Kenny Bednarek in the 200 by nearly 100 meters had they raced head-to-head yesterday: she ran a cool 22.4 while Kenny could only manage finishing his race in 45 seconds

Not even close. The top WNBA players couldn't make a decent high school boys team. No disrespect to the women, it's just that the physical difference is that big.

I played pickup ball at the rec center in college. Sometimes some of the starters from the top level D1 women's team would play with us. They were cool and could play, but they were below average among the guy rec players.

The best women's college teams often pay guys to scrimmage with them. Those guys aren't good enough to make the men's team, but they are good enough to keep up with the best women.

The experiment's been done for soccer:

netball, horse racing, motor racing, curling, probably distance swimming.

This is the worst response. Top male high school prospects would destroy the WNBA

Only thing elite women can beat elite men at is ultra swimming.
