Male only sports in the Olympics?

Are there any sporting events in the Summer Olympics that are men only events (they do not have a corresponding lady's event)? If so could you name them.

    Flatwater Canoe, Slalom Canoe and Greco-Roman Wrestling. I believe women's boxing has been added for either 2012 or 2016.

    I believe Boxing is was the last male only sport.

    Now they are all coed. They don't necessarily have the exact same events. In swimming, the men don't swim the 800 meter freestyle and the women don't swim the 1500 meter freestyle. But at the World Championships they both swim these events.

    I also believe in certain sports an event can be mixed. In rowing I think the coxswain can be the opposite sex of the rowers.
