Saw that live and wondered if I ever ran past those dudes while they were skulling down the schyulkill
Or maybe passed them at the Eagles parade

Maia Weintraub is from Philly.USA Women just won the first team fencing gold medal in USA history (men or women). Beat Italy who was the #1 ranked team in the world (and defending gold medalists from Tokyo)
Italian fencer tried to stop momentum with the USA needing 2 points to clinch, claimed an issue with her sword and switched to a back-up to basically get a few minutes of stoppage... but the US fencer scored the next 2 points and won gold. (She also won silver individually in the Olympics earlier this week in a USA vs USA final)
20k in an hour, these people ain’t f***ing walkingLike, I am no race walk judge... but so many of them have both their feet off the ground basically every stride.
Half of them just jog while doing the funny hip thing to throw off the judges aha.
Hell, the wiki for racewalking has a still that shows multiple of them that should be DQ'd lmao.
20 kilometres race walk - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Basically whoever is the best at pretending not to jog and does not get noticed by the judges is the Gold medalist.
DQ them all.
If they want to start banning people for biological advantages, then you might as well say goodbye to Phelps' medals since tests revealed his working muscles produced half as much lactic acid as his competitors, which ACTUALLY gives you a competitive advantage since your muscles wouldn't fatigue nearly as quickly.I think most people in here know i'm a former physicist. So i asked a Biologist about this. Teaches at a Mountain West University. This is her direct quote:
"Individuals with XY DsDs are usually born with female-appearing genitalia, which can lead to being sexed as female. They typically have testes (internal), XY sex Chromosomes, Male levels of testosterone and androgen receptors. They experience physical benefits of high testosterone during puberty analogous to male puberty. May be socialized as female. May also be considered female by governments. Will likely identify as female; but biologically are men."
This is the best information i have on the boxing situation. But i don't think there's been any for sure proof that the boxer in question is confirmed XY DSDs. Just giving the two-cents of a person who knows far more about it than I ever will.
Edit: Will also say that since i don't know anything here, i can't advocate to how accurate, politically motivated, this may be. Though i know she was a Sanders fan and Lesbian, so I doubt its coming from a hateful place in any way.
Honestly gotta respect the stolen valor.
I need more Japanese judo medals for reasonsTeddy Riner winning Gold was one of the things I care about most this time around. Real GOAT argument
To be perfectly clear, I have no issue with it. I was just offering a science perspective from a colleague of mine.If they want to start banning people for biological advantages, then you might as well say goodbye to Phelps' medals since tests revealed his working muscles produced half as much lactic acid as his competitors, which ACTUALLY gives you a competitive advantage since your muscles wouldn't fatigue nearly as quickly.
No worries dude, I just quoted your post because it highlighted the key fact that this was indeed chromosomal/biological and used it as a piggyback for my point.To be perfectly clear, I have no issue with it. I was just offering a science perspective from a colleague of mine.
I've missed every second of the olympics due to personal schedule, I've basically been limited to the memes of the Turkish hit man.
I just try to allow people to have an open mind from various directions. Except when it comes to my current disdain for Danny B. No open minds allowed, from any direction
Danny's selection of Michkov won't ever fool me again. Dude is a f***ing moron
Saw the first half, don't think they had more than 3 total minutes of possession scores midfieldUS men soccer bites the big one as usual. Lol. I love it
One of the best 10km in history. Fast with a huge group of contenders.3 laps left in the 10,000m
they definitely do not deserve the pay they are gettingSaw the first half, don't think they had more than 3 total minutes of possession scores midfield
