Fencing world championships. Guess who won the women's 70+ epée?

[NoBinturongsHereMate]

The true winner was Jane Clayton. Unfortunately the gold.medal was handed to USA fencer Elizabeth, formerly Greg, Kocab.

USA fencing allows transwomen to compete as women after 1 year of testosterone suppression. They do not test hormone levels, and require only a doctor's leter as evidence of suppression.

That's so awful for Jane Clayton, what a shame, losing to a cheat. Losing to a worthy opponent is not the same.

Bunch of fucking cheats

Hopefully Jane realises that she is the true champion.

So bloody wrong.

Hopefully Jane realises that she is the true champion.

I'm sure that she does, along with every other rational person on the planet. It won't help her much, knowing that she was robbed, or the woman replaced by Greg, or the women eliminated by him, who may have progressed further.

Congratulations rightful winner Jane Clayton, robbed of the gold in the Vet 70+ Women's Individual Epee.

Mixed sex fencing

Well... that is a surprise ... not.

Which sex has the longer arms, greater height, greater stability and higher proportion of fast twitch muscles?
And potentially the faster brain reaction to stimulus such as an incoming stabby thing?

Congratulations though Jane Clayton!

Oooh pathetic cheating males come in all ages 🤬

Congratulations Jane 🏆

Congratulations to the winner, Jane Clayton.
Fuck off pathetic cheat Greg Kocab.

He should be ashamed of himself.

Those pearl studs are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Bloody appalling.
Poor Jane.

There should be an alternative awards ceremony for the women who actually won in all these competitions.

The body language of the women on the podium tells its own story. The Finnish woman on the right is presumably looking more cheerful as she didn’t fence Kocab.

That photo is rather significant.
