Paris 2024 Summer Olympics: Thank you, France!🥇🥈🥉

Race walking is absolutely ridiculous - the leader is on a red card for running and they just showed a slow motion shot of the chase pack and most of them had both feet of the ground - ie running.

Either police it properly or they should be in running events instead.

50m freestyle... always entertaining!

100m dash for swimming. So electric. Just balls to the wall.

50m freestyle... always entertaining!

Funny, it’s probably my least favorite event to watch. I need to see the turn!

On the other hand, I love the 100 in track

Mans woke up from a nap and threw on some sandals for that.

Do people truly think that Algeria would send a trans athlete?

I'll give them benefit of the doubt and say it's a Caster Semenia type situation where they just had high T levels.

Either way, if a gender test was required to be passed and it wasn't, why was this person allowed to compete? We will get details I'm sure.

Another sport that makes me exhausted just from watching it: Canoe Slalom.
Going against a current using only your core and arms.

....and JK Rowling is trending.

It's like peanut butter & jelly.

It's messing with my mind that the 5x5 men & women are dominant, per usual, but the 3x3 men & women are 0-5 combined.
Women: 0-3
Men: 0-2

Now, the women are without LA Sparks star & future GOAT Cameron Brink, but still: it's rough. I've seen all 3 games and we play frantic from the very beginning of the game, and all 3 other opponents have been very calculated & organized.

Then on the men's side, I really thought Jimmer Fredette would get loose, but... yeahnah.

It's weird.

Probably not, until they did. But I don’t wanna take the thread in another direction

Here's a boxer who's fought and beaten her in the past



Perfectly possible that she was born with elevated testosterone levels, she's never claimed to be even intersex like Semenya.

The way folks ran with another narrative is crazy when it's literally illegal to transition over there. Same country that banned the movie Barbie

One of the last places that would send someone of that identity to represent them on this stage

Yea we can dead the convo in here.

If anything pops up it can go to TAN.
