There are professional woman's basketball teams. The NY team is called Liberty. Of course, in addition to figure skating, women participate in Golf and Tennis. Definitely Soccer.
The only sport I know of where boys and girls compete in the same events is in Equestrian. However, there may be more coming along. Golf seems to be opening up their biggies for women too. I just don't care about their sexual identities.

I thought the question was about mixed gender teams. Girls and boys sometimes compete together on the same team and/or against each other in many recreational sports. But there are also a lot of sports where it is forbidden. Mixed gender teams are permitted in synchro. Boys/girls can compete against each other in many skating events, but not all. There have been a small number of cases in high school sports where boys and girls have "crossed over" to compete on a team with the opposite sex. Girls on "boys" hockey teams is not uncommon out here (LA). I think that is all good to encourage participation. Up until puberty is fairly advanced, girls and boys are generally equally strong (as a group) and there is no physical reason why girls and boys cannot compete together in a sport.
