plenty of stuff on the net about her throwing that race because of the previous years controversy, this was before they bought in the rules about testosterone levels, it's worth mentioning the Russian was likely on the gear anyway

Honestly, I do have sympathy for her, but at the end of the day allowing people like her to compete as women makes the competition unfair, and let's face it, that's the whole reason for having a separate women's competition in the first place.

Currently we have 2 groups...Men's and Women's, but clearly that's too loose, so I'm starting to think we need 4.

1) 'Standard definition' women.
2) All who identify as women.
3) 'Standard definition' men.
4) All others.

Groups 2 & 4 can include those who take PEDs, transgender, and some disabilities where the 'solution' seems to be an advantage to some degree (think someone like Oscar Pistorius but with another 20 years of development into those blades). Set the 'standard definitions' very tight, and allow groups 1&3 able to compete against 2&4 if they choose.

I'm sure there would be plenty of legal issues ( "how dare they say I'm not a 'normal' woman", etc), but lets face it, the current system isn't working, and looks to be getting worse.

I'd like to know why not one of the boomers is on that list! They've performed really well this olympics and granted they haven't won a medal yet, but Christ literally anything is possible with that team. :(

Paddy Mills is at $11, further up the page. Kim Brennan is the favourite.

Still think a cheeky $5 on Kitty is not a bad bet.

No wonder none of them can perform under pressure when they get treated like children and aren't allowed to make any decisions on their own

Whoa! Uzbekistan is a minnow powerhouse!

Good to see Finland get their first medal of the olympics.

Just waiting on Montenegro now.
 
8 gold! EAD _Cayz_

I might snag a couple more but I'm too far behind.


anyone else get annoyed at the title chef de mission when they keep talking about chiller. just call them a team manager. there is obviously a French origin somewhere in there but it just makes her sound far more important than she actually is
