I feel those sort of races, a bit like the similar snow board races in the winter Olympics are all down to getting the jump at the start...and luck.
I'll watch and will defo be stressed out watching it.

Maybe this Italian boxer just had poor form and got her nose broke. I’m sure it’s not the first broken nose in women’s BOXING.

Although the simple answer is just to ban women’s sport altogether

There are a number of women who would be living with a y - chromosome who don't even realise it, in all walks of life. They have vaginas, fallopian tubes and uteruses and can have children. The reason they have the female phenotype is because the y chromosome isn't expressed, due to other upstream genetic differences. It really isn't as simple as xx = female and xy = male. Is the expression of the y chromosome which causes masculine phenotypes.

'Felt and saw things we shouldn't think about too much': Triathlete lifts lid on Seine swim
After $2.3 billion sewer saga

If they did these DNA tests before the Olympics as like a requirement of entry and said if you have a Y chromosome it disqualifies you to compete in women's events, would that solve some problems?
In Brisbane will they have to swim in the Brisbane River?

Can they do the swim leg in the ocean?
It’s all up to the sports apparently.
I heard James Magnusson saying if she was a swimmer she wouldn’t be allowed to compete.

Would be hard on the women with y chromosomes, which is why they stopped testing in the first place and went to phenotypical assessment instead.
Individual intersex conditions are individually very rare, but overall being intersex is more common than having red hair. And a huge number wouldn't realise and would live their life as a man or woman.

There’s be hundreds of triathlons events in Brisbane each year. I think with Paris they wanted it in the river to make a statement which has kinda backfired.

So you’re saying ban red heads?

Not quite where I was going...
If someone had an extra leg would they be allowed in the main Olympics?

Why not?
I’m asking a question, as it could give someone a significant advantage.

Nah, intersex is estimated at 1.7% of the population. Most recent estimate for red hair is 1.5%.

Having bigger lungs or more muscular thighs or webbed feet are an advantage in some things too. Everyone at the Olympics is genetically gifted
It was a hypothetical
