Paris Olympics 2024

Yep she isn’t transgender, she’s XY46. So basically born “both” male and female.

Biologically impossible. There's only 2 gametes to choose from, (large) ova & (small) sperm.

Amy broadhurst too, (didn't qualify) doesn't look as bulky here though.

I thought that. 4 years on very different. Even the fight in the previous round the mexican had a few glances to the Ref as if to say wtf. You dont see many fighters do that.

Kellie Harrington beat her 5-0 at the last Olympics. Don't think her elevated testosterone helps her much. The Italian girl isn't the first fighter to have her nose broken in a fight.

Much ado about nothing and an opportunity for the likes of J K Rowlings to stick the knife in.

Spot on. She won fair and square. Eligibility rules adhered to. No issues.

Just the hobgoblin queen drumming up the baying mob against people different to her.

Who are you today dave. Harry Carpenter?

Exactly, they're probably doping but there ain't many transgender ( who knows the right terms) people bouncing around rural Algeria and especially not risking exposure by competing in public sports.

There's plenty more intersex athletes than people realise.

In Rio 2016, the gold, silver and bronze 800m was won by Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui - all 3 have the same intersex DSD, all 3 biologically male.

This gymnast all round event is a bit tense for dancing about on a beam. I realise there's the american dream to happen and expectation around that, but it'll be a throw down on the floor.

Biles leads into the final round which is the floor.

Biles leads into the final round which is the floor.

Of course she does.

Just as if she wasn't going to be allowed to win EVERYTHING.

Reckon she's stretchy enough to slap some Bruce Lee onto those boxers, spice things up a bit.

Simone Biles might make up the USA’s gold medal deficit by herself

Another French fighter gets a ropey decision

 

[d34noj]

She also lost to Amy Broadhurst from Ireland in the world championships. She's lost 8 times or more overall.

It's more complicated than people are making out.

It's really not. It's very simple.

Elite women's athlete or mediocre male athlete. The fact she lost 8 times just means she's not very good.

The women's 100m sprint record is slower than the 6,000th fastest mens - including under 16 boys. Males have an inherent physical advantage over females, regardless of testosterone levels.

I feel massive sympathy for the intersex athletes, they didn't choose it, it's a congenital physical deformity but the fact remains they're male, not female.

Her for the usa here was great on the floor event. Perfect landings aots. Sunisa Lee*

She's not male either though is she? Also the 'test' which has never been made public was completed by IBA which GB, USA and about 20 other nations left because it's completely corrupt. They're also not allowed to run the olympic boxing due to their corruption.

If she fought a male she'd get knocked out in seconds, she isnt male and people acting like she's cheating when she's competed for at least 8 years as a female are being harsh. I do think it's complicated. If proper testing was completed and it's worked out she shouldn't be eligible to compete thats fine.

IBA let her fight 4 times in the world championships and decided on the day or day before the final she wasn't a female and then never released any results? Some transparency would be helpful.
