Anyone watching the Olympic’s if so want events ? I actually watched a bit of the air gun competition. I would have been so good at this--one handed sport--it was interesting and I cheered for them. I'm generally not a fan of the Olympics because of a few reasons, but I love to root for underdogs.

Just a matter of time till serious injuries happen, and this isn’t in just the Olympic’s 🤬

Some females are spectacular in several sports and they deserve all the credit in the world and respect too..But a man fighting a woman?? That just aint right and never will be in my opinion!!

He could use a professional who can address his being bullied as a child (he admits he felt lonely and outcast) and also his relationship with his dad. Obviously I don't know details, but that's a HUGE chasm in his life where he's trying to fill the void. wish everyone involved better regulation and healing.

Just a matter of time till serious injuries happen, and this isn’t in just the Olympic’s 🤬 That makes you livid, but a convicted pedophile competing doesn't even make the radar? www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/c51y123k0w3o In my opinion, the news has done a shitty job explained the situation of the FEMALE boxer. She was born female, has all female anatomy, but is XY. There are instances where the Y chromosome is defective and doesn't trigger the fetus turning into a male. We all start female and need the Y chromosome to activate hormones to make us male. If that doesn't happen, you are female. I've read reports that she has higher testosterone, but haven't seen anything confirmed. High testosterone can also happen in females, but again, I haven't seen/heard any confirmed reports. The test that determined she was male is simply looking for the inactive X chromosome in her cells. It's actually relatively simple to do, we did it in school. In the boxers case, she doesn't have one, so they concluded she was male without looking into it any further. When I was in school, I took a quite a few genetics classes. This exact scenario was discussed in class because of rumours the Jamie Lee Curtis was born XY, but if anybody here has seen some of her early movies, she definitely is physically a female Please feel free to correct anything you see as incorrect. I just ask that everybody get the complete story before posting.

I just discovered the war Between the IOC and the IBA which plays a role in this whole thing. The IBA is no longer a controlling entity I believe. I think there is more at play than what we are hearing, so I'm modifying my opinion on some of the narrative. I still dont believe the overall men in women's sports thing (and vice versa) is appropriate.

One week closer people!🍺 Being able to suit up 4 natural, 200 ft centers every game now will be huge. Zacha’s speed on the wing adds another element.

Remember it like yesterday, remember Carl Lewis too..Steroid use was everywhere and Ben was one that was caught but majority was doing roids at the time or at least alot..Shame really..

I started watching that Simone Biles documentary on Netflix last night. I think she can easily be included on a top ten list. She’s amazing. Could do a Ten Greatest Female Athletes Simone Biles Serena Williams Diana Taurasi Annika Sorenstam Billie Jean King Lindsey Vonn Mia Hamm Bonnie Blair Steffi Graf Babe Zaharias

I'll flip to it here and there and watch whatever they got on. I find something interesting about whatever sport they got on haha! I caught some indoor and beach volleyball so far. I try to watch the 100M final as that's usually a pretty intense 9 or so seconds! The 100 Metres are something else to watch.. Lyles won by .005 seconds. What a race!
