It's not that straight forward.

We're not dealing with a biological man identifying as a woman.

It is. It might be hard on her but she has an unfair advantage.

 

[Awakening]

Our local boxer Caitlin Parker made history tonight becoming the first ever female Australian boxing Olympic medalist.

Was her unfair advantage that she knew how to box?

I really really hope that the gold medal fight isn’t between her and Lin Yu-Ting.

Where's the actual evidence Lin or Khelif are blokes?

The only organisation to claim they are won't release its evidence.

I don’t even know if they’re in the same weight class lol.

Have high jumpers always been such odd units?

Yep.

I knew a guy who used to high jump for Australia, at least in a couple of comps. He used to sit there beating up his cap (no its not a euphemism,) between jumps.

Nothing would surprise me.

Well done to Meg Harris, i'm still convinced we left a medal on the table in the 100m freestyle by leaving her out for Shayna Jack, has a bright future if she decides to continue as a sprinter.

 

[Dan]

Big up Noah Lyles winning gold in the 100m sprint.

Didn't have a good start but still good enough to pinch the gold.

Here's the thing though.....should he be now regarded as the fastest man on the planet or should that title remain with Bolt till someone else breaks his record?

If Bolt can’t beat him in a race anymore then Lyles is the fastest person on the planet currently.

That to me makes world records meaningless.

 

[ferball]

It was pretty funny. he'd sit there punching it, smashing it on the ground and generally abusing the crap out of it while he sat down between jumps. He'd do it on tv, it was funny as.

That was an insane race. You could throw a blanket over the field.

Right now he's the fastest on the planet. If he ever breaks Bolt's record he'll be the fastest human in recorded history.

Evidence, they were seen standing up have a piss

Lyle's will bring the profile up like Bolt did, has a personality and not afraid to say what he thinks

So was Margaret Thatcher.

I liked his post race interview. Not to up himself.

[ferball]

Its amazing that that's the whole bloody race in that photo.... the entire field and less than 2m between them.

That's the greatest 100m sprint final of all time.

Imo anyway.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Great effort by the younger Fox lass. That’s a brutal event and to make her way through the heats and semis then win gold in the final is an extraordinary effort and example of her will to win.

Amazing effort. What a family.

Imagine those two sisters at dinner lol...

 

[DarwinRoo]

Speaking about the Fox’s, if you can’t be as professional and as neutral as the Dad was commentating then you shouldn’t have a job.

Looking at you Brayshaw.
