Interesting! I never thought about it.

This makes aerobic gymnastics the only sport I know of that covers all of these categories.

1) There are gender-specific events: individual male and individual female;
2) There's a mixed pair event;
3) Trios, groups, dance and step events are open to any gender.

There was a mixed synchro trampoline event at the early World Championships ins the 1960s, but it has long been discontinued.

Any other "open" events in sports you know of?

Sailing and shooting used to have some open gendered events, but mostly not anymore (at least at the Olympics). There is also netball. Though I'm not sure how it works exactly, it is either open or mixed, I believe.

Netball is women only from what I know. Korfball is mixed, but not open. Flying Disc is also mixed, but not open. Air Sports has events that are open.

 

Wheelchair Rugby is open from what I know.

in Wintersports, Natural Track Luge doubles are an "open" competition (and has already happened that a few actual pairs were male + female* even at the highest level -talking of world championships)...

 

*the last one, it was Slovenia 3/4 years ago, if I remember well (but the Country might be wrong, I should check)...

Skeet event in Barcelona 1992: Olympic Champion, a Chinese woman (Zhang Shan)...

 

after that, ISSF decided to launch the women's only events and end the "open" era...
