Olympics Paris 2024

[Captain Obvious]

Kellie Harrington beat Imane Khelif in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo allegedly..

 

In the Quarter final before Kellie went on to win a gold medal.

Khelif less known then and social media outrage has taken hold now, her opponent quiting after 46 seconds adds to that outrage.

What age were these two lads when they transitioned?

Poor Caster Semenya, born and raised female but isn't allowed to run at the Olympics,  yet two boys can batter women.

I don't think this is a case of transitioning from what I have heard today. I've also heard that a lot of the controversy is coming from the Russian boxing body who lost control of the IOC boxing administration.

So a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

Yeah I have read that too. Could be more round testosterone levels etc.

The general problem I think is still a problem but this person being vilified and tbh it's boxing authorities / rule makers etc who are the real problem more than one individual.

I heard a bit of Bunce on 5 Live earlier and he was also saying there was more this than met the eye as the IBA were Russian backed and it could be a smear job. He also said it wasn't believed to be a testosterone based test.

Womens all around gymnastics very interesting after a Biles mistake on bars leaves her 3rd halfway through.

[Truthsayer]

Totally had my fill of Irish boxers being robbed in the Olympics. So corrupt. That girl Morehouse was totally cheated there. Definitely won the first and second rounds. A hometown decision. Olympics and boxing need to part company.

[straightred]

Another shocker in the boxing. its corrupt to the core. Cheap shot in the 3rd and no caution. No caution last night either. Just throw boxing out and be done with it.

Agreed. Her opponent also caught her twice with elbow shots. Clearly.

[weareros]

So corrupt. She fought so well and had the French woman dazed after the first round. Just knew before the fight even started Daina would not get justice.

[Gallybander]

Moorehouse boxed the ears off the French one. The cheers of the home crowd when Lkhadiri occasionally landed a punch must have influenced the judges.

 Zaur Antia and coach Damian Kennedy react to the result

Absolutely scandalous. Blatantly obvious she won.

Scoring in the boxing is a total joke watching Marley here. Ridiculous

[Truthsayer]

He was beat fair enough though maybe closer than judged although one judge gave it to Marley . Very courageous effort...

[Itchy]

He was beat fair enough though maybe closer than judged. Very courageous effort

It's the scoring I've an issue with, it was closer than that

"🇩🇿 The Algerian boxer everyone is talking about was born with a vagina. 

Yes, Imane is a woman, she was born a woman, in Algeria, where lunatics who change their gender are prohibited very strictly, if not with the death penalty.

However, she suffers from hyperandrogenism (androgen levels in the blood higher than normal), a disease that results in a testosterone level higher than normal and xy chromosomes. 

This is a natural disorder.

I too fell for this fake news, but I did some research and discovered the truth."

Need a bit more digging into this one...

So neither of the two boxers are transgender. Changes the context of the situation. The Italian boxer today was being a drama queen; a boxer who felt that a punch hurt her ffs. It's not like the Algerian is new on the scene and is unbeaten. I think both Broadhurst and Harrington have both beat her in the recent oast.
