Table Tennis is another example. At the last Olympics, the only medals that weren't won by China were the silver and bronze in the team events because China only had one team.
And the Women's luge and bobsleigh also start from a different point on the track... further down from where the men start so technically they're probably not as "skilled" as the men in luge & bobsleigh either.

But those sports are apparently "watchable" so it's okay.
