..and Hubbard in the weightlifting!
She's taking some heat from her opponents too, and fair enough. I hope she doesn't get a medal. I don't mean to be nasty, but it's not fair on the other athletes.
-
Yeah I understand that position.
I hope Hubbard wins gold. I want to see how well the new orthodoxy is policed. It should be revealing. I'm sure someone on radio/tv will say something considered wrong.
-
@Duluth Hah, yes, that would be very interesting. I've changed my position, and bought a big bag of popcorn.
-
120 kg for Hubbard but she fails at 127
Seemed a bit rushed -
Then fails at 132 and looks to have fucked her elbow
-
Nasty.
Reality of her lifting with the women is that she was in her own competition anyway - her first lift was 7kg more than the best lift of the next best competitor.
How do you deal with all this if you're a sports administrator?
I reckon you allow transgender athletes and blade-runners etc to compete with the other athletes, but you have extra medals. e.g. If Laurel wins overall then she gets a gold, but so does the first natural born woman. If she comes second she gets a silver, but so does the person who comes third. If she comes fourth she gets nothing - like everyone else.

Just looked at the results. Wouldnt zhe have won based on that one lift? Or do you physically have to make every attempt? Obviously I have no idea, but zhe had the best snatch (chortle snort) by miles and was second in the clean and jerk.
-
@rancid-schnitzel I wasn't watching, but wasn't it her third attempt in the Snatch? That is what stuff is reporting.

This might as well be Chinese to me, but based on the official website zhe got 120 for he he snatch after failing her 2nd and 3rd attempts and then got130 for her only clean and jerk attempt. Considering they only take the best result I'm not sure why zhe had to drop out.

If that's the case then she's got two counting lifts and someone needs to go at least 137 in the C&J or she'll collect the gold.

Well if she can still do a clean jerk she should be asking for a refund.
-

Nope , its only a matter of time till someone gets badly hurt by a tranny in a contact sport. My guess is wrestling or mma.
