The IOC is a corrupt scum organization too.

Great. They got this one right though since she’s a woman

Boss Man Hughes asking for chromosomal reports on every woman that exposes their vagina, just in case.

Yes I think they did. When would she even have found out her chromosone was XY. Don't pay attention to the Olympics so I didn't know the details.

Sounds OK.

She was born a woman. Lived as a women all her life. Let’s move on from this. So much more to talk about here.

Fifty years from now:

“Grandpa, can you tell us why you didn’t win a medal?”

“Well kids…”

Canada Germany today... let's keep the run going. Did men soccer team even make it to the olympics? Haven't heard a word about them.

This gives a whole new meaning to pole... vaulting

I get so pumped for Summer McIntosh races. So seldom does Canada have an athlete that is so freaking dominant. She’s only 17, f***ing incredible. I can’t wait for her race today.

I’m not sure what age swimmers typically peak, but I’m guessing 17 isn’t it. She is a superstar.

I'll say 20-24 is the peak usually. I find it quite amusing when the commentator said that Masse stopped progressing when McKeown and Smith continued to progress during the 200m backstroke final. Masse is 28 years old and this was probably her last olympics, the other two are 23 and 22 years old...

Note that injuries can be a factor, see Penny Olesiak only being on the freestyle relay at Paris at 24 years old (which finished 4th) after coming back from 2 years of rehabilitating injuries/surgery.

Swimmers like Phelps and Ledecky who dominate at a very young age and still dominate 4 Olympics later aren't that commons.

It's such a shame how injuries have just decimated her. Before Olympic qualifiying. I still hoped that she'd bounce back. Can you imagine a healthy Penny and Summer on this team?

Interesting. I was wondering what happened to Oleksiak but never bothered to look up. Too bad.

Lebron will never hear the end of this.

[The Real Timo]

Germans have some cuties on their team.

Half time. Zzzzzzz….

 

[ArtPeur]

That was almost an uneventful first half between Canada and Germany

 

[The Real Timo]

Warner withdraws from decathlon. Frankly he looks injured.

Yeah I've always been partial to Alexandra Popp.

She looks like Tim Stutzle's twin sister.

Girls with Swyer syndrome have an XY chromosomal makeup (as boys normally do) instead of an XX chromosomal makeup (as girls normally do). Despite having the XY chromosomal makeup, girls with Swyer syndrome look female and have functional female genitalia and structures including a vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes.

She is a woman. The IBA CEO made an arbitrary decision on his own after she beat a Russian boxer. It’s a corrupt organization. It would be akin to banning a boxer because they have abnormally long arms.

Incorrect. She is a man who has Swyer Syndrome. It's unfortunate for her but she is what, 1 in a million?

Sometimes, life is not fair.. however i feel the bare minimum level of fairness must start and end with a clear line... xx is a woman, xy is a man..
The rest is a genetic gift from god.
