    Just watched the +86kg mixed weightlifting. Tbh I’m not really sure if Hubbard is out of place. It’s hard to even know what species these athletes are.

    Apparently the Chinese bird weighs 150kg...😬

    Hubbard fails to complete a single lift in the snatch.

    Huh? I just watched her lift 125? Wasn't that the snatch?

    Edit- Did it not count, I see she's not on the leaderboard

    I haven’t seen her but the American must be pushing that as well! Her food bill must be massive.

    The issue is Hubbard took a female's position at the games.

    Sure, and that does suck, but at least she didn't steal someone's medal, that would have been much worse.

    Ironically the biological male is probably the most female looking of the lot.

    I just read today that she isn't the only trans at the Olympics. A former chick playing for Canadian women's soccer, identifies an non binary I think, had her boobs removed. There was an alternate who could have competed in the BMX freestyle. Unfortunate for Hubbard to inherit her fathers hairline when she is trying to be a women. Doesn't have the budget of Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner.

    Surely theirs isn't the only country people have to run nearly two miles while jumping over sleeping lions?

    Apparently the steeplechase is like the Holy Grail for the Kenyans. I would have thought 10k or marathon, but nope, the steeplechase is their favourite.

    The women's 5,000m Final is next. It will interesting to see whether Sifan Hassan's fall and catch-up race (1,500m) this afternoon will have any effect on her result in this Final.
