My mum's not Russian. In fact she doesn't do anything very quickly these days.Friend Or Defoe said:

I find it bizarre, and actually quite worrying, that some people can form some very clear and entrenched views based on "facts" that just aren't true at all.Swindon_Addick said:
She isn't a man. No-one is claiming that she's a man, including those who are claiming that she has a chromosomal irregularity that would make her ineligible for women's sport. The people making those claims have no credibility, but even they don't think she's trans.KBslittlesis said:Men telling me that a man winning a women’s event is irrelevant.
Yeah, cheers guys.
The lack of credibility of the IBA doesn't in itself prove that they're lying, neither does the fact that when they held their press conference they couldn't even agree what test they were claiming they'd run that she'd failed. But I want to seem some actual evidence before we start disqualifying people, and I want to know why that evidence wasn't presented to the IOC in advance so that, if one or both of the two boxers isn't eligible, they could have been excluded without ruining the competition for everyone else.
Obviously we've seen that recently with all the aggro around the UK, but this is another example of where the facts don't seem to trouble some people.
For example, my mum is insistent that the Algerian "is a man", even though nobody in any sort of official, or semi-official, capacity has ever said that, as far as I'm aware.
Gold for China in the 102kg male weightlifting. Great atmosphere with a lot or Chinese and Armenian fans in attendance. I kept my union flag in the bag as we didn't have anyone competing but quite a few were on display.
Incredible seeing people snatching 160kg as easy as i can do 20 kg (no plates) proper Olympians.3 -

Had a similar situation yesterday in another thread where I got incorrectly accused of something without a right to reply so my back is up a little bit. But it’s a football forum so yeah, whatever I suppose.1 -

Anyone know how the fencing works in the pentathlon? Looks like our geezer goes first and has to basically win 17 matches to come out on top!0

Men's kerin. Austria lap everyone & get the bonus 20 after already winning one sprint & have 25 points
I'm saying they will get a medal. Only need a couple more sprint wins a couple of 2nd & 3rds to be in the top 3.0 -

And the women's 4x400 team also beat the national record while claiming bronze. A great end to the track events.Swindon_Addick said:Another national record in the men's 4x400 while finishing third.0 -

I immediately thought Jamaica had dropped the baton when they first replayed the incident, rather than an injury. She didn't limp off
Been a disastrous track programme for Jamaica.0 -
