She’s not a man. Get over it.
Phelps has a longer torso to generate power, produces less lactic acid than other athletes which means he tires less quickly. He also has a hyper-jointed chest and double-jointed ankles which help him produce that flipper motion. But sure, no advantage at all.
I agree that genetics plays a role, certainly advantages to olympic athletes over everyone else...
Thing is, in the world of sports we had to draw a line between men and women, otherwise 99.9% of all olympic medals would be won by men, and this includes the balance beam and uneven bars.
Can you imagine all the swimming events... whos Summer Macintosh l? She wouldnt even be there....
Its very simple biology: a woman has XX chromosomes and a man has XY
How they live their life is completely up to them. The Algerian boxer has XY chromosome, which was why "she" was barred from IBC female boxing..
I actually feel sorry for the Algerian boxer as i believe she has lived her whole life as a girl.. problem is, with her genetics shes a pretty good local club boxer at best... if anything, the olympics should have an "open" event, for any/all qualifiers, kind of like a farm league level... make it coed, anything goes... i think it would be a hit with the viewership!
