Surely this cannot be true. In boxing of all sports. I thought boxing had told men they needed to compete with other men? *”Two athletes competing at...

Quite a lot of glum faces among the neutrals in the crowd.

Did she do an XX? I think so

Commentator, in a discussion about how well Lin used her reach : “If you know you’ve got certain stylistic advantages, make sure you apply them!”

Perhaps I'm a hopeless optimist but I do think the athlete may not be a deliberate cheat.

How likely do you think it is that a woman would reach her 20s without every wondering why she'd passed through puberty but never menarche as part of that?

Tbf at this stage of the game I'd say more hopelessly naive.
Quite apart from the veracity of the individual,about the motivations of small countries who dont have big sporting resources and are desperate for gold at any cost, nor the extent of the corruption in the IOC.
And then there is the ongoing pattern and dynamic that we all really should be aufait with by now.
Does it not strike you odd that there are TWO vanishingly rare Dsds in the one event, or odd that the IOC has controlled all media as to how to discuss it?
Or odd that they prevent you knowing how many actual men in womens Olympics events?
Or odd that there was not 1, not 2 but 3 men Bronze, Silver Gold on the podium for a womens running event at Rio 2016?
At what point do women put aside their self defeating 'be kind to the poor bloke' tendencies?

"Kind' - would be an Open category and a Womens.
Cruel is as it is now.
He is entirely deliberate. He said he didnt care, you saw the fans, nor did they.
He swore Gold at any cost
Meanwhile according to other posters they are laughing at us in Algiers for being so gullible.
Our reverse racism has bitten us back, 'poor little foriegners, they dont understand our corrupt ways. They are innocent of contrivance like Rousseaus noble savage.'
Rant over ;)

well, that was horrible.

fairly sure there was a quick xx signal there, though the camera moved very quickly.

Nah I rewound and watched it twice - it was a heart 🫶

Just off to downvote bbc live feed again... 🤣

The gaslighting from the BBC and the rest has been at another level here. Real "ignore the evidence of your eyes" stuff.

Lin Yu-Ting just won gold in 57kg. Disgusting. So wrong.

WomaninBoots · 10/08/2024 21:04

What an unbelievable coincidence that the two boxers whose sex is in question go and win gold. Goodness me. I wonder why.

Hmmm indeed. Boxing needs to come out of the Olympics in any event.

Women beating up women and men beating up men isn't sport.

Male bodied people beating up female bodied people is even less sport.

And the Rio 800m medals need to be awarded to the women who actually won them.

Yep,a very small part of me can't believe this shit is actually happening.

eatfigs · 10/08/2024 21:08

He knows he's male. Both of them do.

The IOC policy is woefully inadequate. And the IBA's isn't perfect either despite them at least making a good effort to exclude males from women's boxing.

But we should definitely be pinning blame on Khelif and Lin too. These arrogant scrotes both know what they're doing.

theilltemperedclavecinist · 10/08/2024 21:08

fact: women did not exist until the invention of passports

😂😂😂

Vespanest · 10/08/2024 21:12

The two finals in question and the commentators on both, amazing reach, no shit Sherlock. The two boxer in the gender eligibility row both have longer limbs but no coincidence there. I noticed the polish corner giving no tactical advice because they knew that despite the dickheads with their be braver that the corner had more sense and didn’t want their fighter getting punched to please the audience and to male commentators who seemed to want more violence.

They also talk about "mail" chromosomes 🤣

How many of us now wonder if we should have bet a double on this happening? I wonder what odds we'd have had? Or are those who set the odds for such things constrained by reality otherwise the betting company shareholders would want to know why their coffers had been emptied?

ETA: kicking myself for not thinking of this as a way of crowdfunding future actions.
