1984 was the first year that separate shooting events for women were introduced, in addition to mixed events in which both men and women may participate. The Olympic shooting program usually changes each year they're played, and historically has sometimes segregated the guys from the gals, and sometimes allowed them to participate together.
In 1992, Chinese 24-year-old competitor Zhang Shan rocked the Olympic shooting world by winning Gold in a mixed-gender Skeet shooting event, becoming the first woman ever to win a shooting event that included both men and women. It appears likely that she will enjoy this distinction for some time to come, due to a subsequent ruling by the International Shooting Union which barred women from shooting against men.
Perhaps future Olympics will again include mixed-sex shooting events. Only time will tell.
