There are actually 3 track & field events in which they are either different, or unavailable for women to participate. These are: 1) Mens 110 m hurdles, whereas women participate in 100 m hurdles. 2) Mens 50 Km walk, no such event exists for women. 3) Mens Decathlon, whereas women participate in a Heptathlon. I went to the International Olympic Committee's website and searched for field events to find this answer. Hope this helps.
