Stomped Femke Bol into the ground. That was awesome. For all of the hype of a "rivalry", it's pretty one sided and Bol hasn't been anywhere near her the last two Olympics.

They are on opposite sides of the bracket...

I remember Zahid grabbing Brooks' singlet twice but only giving up one point, and Brooks being robbed of a TD and given a 1 instead, and Zahid still lost. But, yeah, Zahid totally beat Brooks.

If they had 55, like they do at Worlds, she could go there. Or 57kg. But, yeah, unless they split the difference between 50 and 53 with a brand new weight class, I'm not sure how adding the non-Olympic weights back in actually helps her.

Yes. They were suspended for a while, actually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From the linked article: “On Wednesday, Augé said Walz served in the Minnesota National Guard from April 8, 1981, to May 16, 2005, after transferring from the Nebraska National Guard. "While serving in Minnesota," she said, "his military occupational specialties were 13B—a cannon crewmember who operates and maintains cannons—and 13Z—field artillery senior sergeant," she said. "In Nebraska, he served as a 11Z—infantry senior sergeant—and a 71L—administrative specialist. He held multiple positions within field artillery such as firing battery chief, operations sergeant, first sergeant and culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m aware of how military promotions work. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL. There are hundreds of GWOT-era CSMs and First Sergeants who never completed their required schooling before getting out. Yet, they were still selected from their peers, promoted, wore the rank, and did the ***ducking** job. I’d bet you a mortgage payment the guys who wrote the article yelled at their troops for having their hands in their pockets when it was 15 degrees outside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“Was only a master sergeant”. Well, no. He was a First Sergeant, which while a parallel E-8 rank, is a higher level than Master Sergeant. Saying that he never rose above Master Sergeant is not true. Then, he was selected for, promoted to, wore the rank and served as a CSM. While he failed to meet the terms of his service obligation and was in fact demoted to Master Sergeant, the authors of the article do, in fact, refer to him as CSM multiple times.

There's a no-needles policy in place, so if that happened, they're all getting the boot. Also, I refuse to believe that an athlete that was anywhere near 50kg (aka, 53-54kg) couldn't make 50kg safely. I'm also wondering if they resorted to some less-than-legal means (see: needles and IV saline bags) to get her rehydrated again after the Day 1 weigh-in.

I feel like Myles Amine draws into a pretty decent shot at a Bronze at every Worlds or Olympics.

Hope KGZ likes getting her oil checked. Oborududu is not subtle with that. At all.

Just bulldozing the Turk. Awesome.

I’m guessing he’s like 30lbs overweight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://reduxx.info/an-injustice-former-canadian-olympic-head-coach-speaks-out-against-results-of-2016-olympics-calls-for-sex-segregated-sport/ You’re talking about this like it’s new. Welcome to 2016. In 2018, she was effectively banned from competition. I wrote about her case nearly 80 posts ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or, made-to-order custom shoes based on your foot’s unique dimensions, that have no gender tag. I have two pairs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, it’s kind of funny how the “there are only two genders” crowd are being forced to admit that’s not quite true. They are also learning the difference between gender and sex, too, I’d hope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll recommend a podcast for anyone interested in learning about human physiology and performance. The Real Science of Sport, by Dr. Ross Tucker and Mike Finch. Both South African; Dr. Tucker is a scientist whose main focus is concussions and Mr. Finch is a sports journalist. They have guests on a lot of topics. They’ve discussed Caster Semenya a bunch of times in reaction to current events, such as CAS decisions about cases World Athletics or Semenya have brought before the court. They also talk about various impressive performances, doping and sports safety. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys, if you haven’t already, look into the story of Caster Semenya. 2x Olympic champ. DSD/Intersex. Has external female genitalia and internal male reproductive organs. She’s had a bunch of cases before CAS. Long story short, testosterone offers a significant competitive advantage at the pointy end of the sport. World Athletics has effectively banned her, and all intersex competitors, from competition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_Semenya Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They do. These women all have “F” on their passports. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
