Which Olympic events should be co-ed?
I'd say there has to be a few that can be co-ed. Maybe Target shooting...... stuff like that.

I Know ICE Skating is.

As long as we got a doctor to confirm I was wrestling a real woman.

5. I wouldn't hate to see some co-ed relays.
Swimming or track, maybe. Why not? They have badmitton, after all. Hey, while we're at it, why not co-ed badmitton? Or beach volleyball? Or doubles tennis?

I think any doubles or relay type event could be co-ed.

11. Sure. Any "team" sport can be co-ed.
I played a lot of co-ed team stuff that was intermural in college. My fav was co-ed inner tube water polo. Despite my best efforts, I never did find "Co-ed naked Twister."

7. because...
the best men are better than the best women by a rather large margine in all of those events but volleyball is questionable. It wouldn't be fair to ask women to compete with men who just a massive biological advantage. I don't think you can really Coed any events.

9. What's unfair about a man and a woman
against another man and woman?

I don't mean that they should compete against each other.
