Flipping love Daley Thompson. Was my favourite male athlete when I was growing up. Now I love him even more!

Come on Daley.

Total respect for Daley Thompson.

✅

I wonder what he thinks about Caitlin Jenner...

Daley Thompson was also one of my hero's as a child, I'm so glad he's got his head round this.

Yeeessssssss! Love Daley, and he’s a legend in UK sport even now

Wit woo.

I used to really fancy Daley when I was 9.

And he quoted Spock - what a legend

Yay!

Nice one, Daley!

Cheers Daley!

Anybody else remember Daley Thompsons decathlon on the ZX Spectrum.

And I want to see fewer people debating exactly how much they can artificially weaken a man in order to have him compete against women.

Women's sport is for women. Women and girls need female role models. Girls need to be inspired by female sporting heroes.

Men forcing themselves into a weaker position in order to have an advantage does fuck all for girls.

Leave females alone.

I totally remember that zx spectrum game!

And go Daley!

And I want to see fewer people debating exactly how much they can artificially weaken a man in order to have him compete against women

YES!

So, so tired of men debating exactly where they ought to place the boot on women’s necks.

Yes! Best/hardest game ever. The amount of frantic joystick wiggling required left you feeling like you'd actually been competing

Hurrah!

I was obsessed with it!
My hero then and now.

excellent.

Makes sense. He's taken a firm line on drugs cheats in the past (he doesn't think they're sorry for their actionsas much as sorry they got caught) so I'd imagine he sees this as obtaining an unfair advantage too.

I lurke on the FC threads but I'm so glad that sports people are coming out to declare their views. And Daley is fucking awesome.

Thanks Daley you wonderful man.

My uncle would visit us and play the Daley Thompson game non stop until he went home. Good times.

I am so happy to see real stars of sports standing up for fairness.

Spotted this in the comments and it's a wonderfully stat and graph heavy read on the differences between females and males, and how they relate to sport.
