Women seem especially well-adapted to the trauma spaceflight inflicts, and have better caloric efficiency, at least according to this NASA study:

I guess that sounds like justification to send women in space rather than put them in close form combat

Your question was whether there are any physical activities where women can compete with men. You were given one example where women outperform men in a physical activity.

Here are more details of women who had less training than men managed to outperform those men in physical activity.

1. I fail to see women outperforming men on this test. I see them passing the tests - same as men

2. Even if we assume that they outperformed men on the tests, it does not qualify as 'outperforming men in a physical activity'.
