If they are honest they probably didn't deserve much better

Is every Australian athlete being bred from the same strain as Hoopah? I swear almost every Aussie I see at these games has their eyes about a millimetre apart.

The Netherlands are the first to score.
0 - 1 NLDisappointing. On the flip side some of the Dutch girls are quite hawt
I stayed in these same hotel as the Dutch field hockey team once in the Nehtherlands.
Many of them, are indeed, seriously seriously hot. On the flip side, the shortest one was about 6ft 1.
How is that a flip side?

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.
Edit. She’s gone. Seems she’s constantly plagued by injury, which isn’t surprising given her age and the event.

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.

Yeah too much arm wobble. Should have challenged it.

Theres a transgender joke in here for sure.
Failed in the snatch department.

@kiwimurph didn't see any clear break in the elbows, so I'm not sure what the issue was? Pretty stink to dnf

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?
