Olympics 2024

If there was still an east Germany…

They’d both get flattened.

 

Again, 100% not male. She is a women who never transitioned just like the Algerian.

After reading more about the Algerian boxer the whole thing stinks to high heaven, whiped up by people like a bigoted kids author. She only got called male after she beat a Russian boxer, by a boxing organisation run by a Russian who is in Putin's party, which has since been banned by the IOC as it was super corrupt. They never produced a result to show she was male or intersex.

I don't think you can say 100% not male if there was a failed gender test.

It's obvious diffrent from the Lea Thomas issues in swimming as the Algerian boxer has a legitimit gender disfunction. She may have lived her life as a female and has female on her passport, but if she went through any sort of male puberty, biologically, physical, she is a man and should not be fighting women.

This could all be put to bed with revealing the results of another gender test if it shows a different result from the original one.

"“There was never any doubt about them being a woman,” said Thomas Bach as he defended controversial bouts involving Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting.

However, as he hinted at Russian misinformation, Bach misspoke by wrongly denying the pair had differences in * development (DSD). “This is not a DSD case, this is about a woman taking part in a women’s competition, and I think I have explained this many times,” he said, sparking confusion.

The IOC then immediately issued a correction on its social-media feeds, saying he instead meant to say “this is not a transgender case”."

"“The problem was not with the level of Khelif’s testosterone, because that can be adjusted nowadays, but with the result of the gender test, which clearly revealed that the Algerian boxer is biologically male,” Kovács added in in an interview with Magyar Nemzet.

He claimed a total of five boxers, including Khelif, had been examined by the IBA."

 

She is a women... Algeria is hardly a progressive nation to willingly accept and acknowledge otherwise.

The IBA test is hardly transparent either and further questions should be raised over exactly what test they claim to have done and not released results for to anyone... as well as, question the womanhood of any female Khelif has lost to.

This much attention wasn't given to her for the Tokyo games.

She's a women.

 

So glad Djokovic got the gold, Fleetwood missing out is a bummer, but Scheffler is something else. I had Rahm to win, meh.

 

Noah Lyles what a superstar, what a character, what a great sprinter, easily my favourite athlete at this Olympics.



PS And what a 100m final it was!!

 

This guy was incredible.

 

* broken the world record 9 times. Gets a bonus every time he does it.

 

Why are the skateboarders all 12?

 

Does anyone skate after 12?

 

Tony Hawk. Bout it.

 

Never knew Chris Hoy has cancer, hope he beats it.

 

Gewon Kellie!!!

Double Olympic gold champion

 

Josh Kerr got a superb silver.That 1500m final was of a very high standard . He is going to be around running at a high level right into the next olympics so another World title is very realistic as are even better times.

Now let us see if Muir can also get a superb silver, with the standard in the women’s 1500 metres that is like many a gold. And who knows tactics in this final may go out the window as well and Muir times her run for a sensational gold!!!

We shall see and I cannot wait.

 

That Norweigan * ego got the better of him. Wanted to run away from Kerr and ended up fading badly out of the medals. Probably what caused Kerr to miss the Gold too.

 

Good point, but to be fair the American did run an Olympic record

 

Aye he smashed it tbf, ran a great race.

 

Do they actually have men boxing women?
