Unisex sports' are sports suitable for the participation of athletes of all sexes, based on merit (i.e. not on allocation of a protected place in a team, as in mixed sports). ... So, firstly, there are not many unisex sports on offer now. The only Olympic sport that is unisex is equestrianism
A sport is presumed to be for men unless distinguished as the female version. There is lacrosse and women's lacrosse, ice hockey and women's ice hockey. The athletes playing in the women's game are always first described by their gender and are constrained by all the cultural ideas that go along with it.
For example, football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, boxing and hockey are examples of male-dominated sports because they are thought of as being more “masculine.” On the other hand, gymnastics and figure skating are thought to be female-dominated sports because they are more “feminine.”
