Fun fact: Shooting was only segregated by sex after 1992 - when a woman won gold.

For those who want to fact check. It was not the whole Shooting category but only Skeet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_at_the_1992_Summer_Ol...

> It was the last Olympic skeet competition open to both men and women, and the only mixed shooting competition at the Olympics ever won by a woman: Zhang Shan.

Particularly interesting, as Skeet is, if anything, more physically challenging.
