They are not trans. They have XY chromosomes, apparently.

Second boxer with the same issue.

Too bad the Olympics and individual sporting federations don’t have the same or similar gender eligibility standards, testing protocols and sanctioned laboratories.   

Probably a bridge too far.

The final 9 holes of Olympic golf was insane. Rahm had 3 stroke lead and didn’t medal. Scheffler shoots course record 62 to win by a shot after starting 4 shots back. With the names in front of him I didn’t think he had much of a chance to win. Lots of other insane charges and lots of big names at the top of the board. Amazing stuff.

After watching the debacle that was the ladies hoops game, I am now on Team Spark and Tempo. Let the ladies who are really guys play. That should raise the level of play by quite a bit. They should at least be able to dribble the ball.

I’ve always been the same as my old man—watch the Olympics out of a sense of obligation. This year things have been busy for this time of year, see it on in every restaraunt I’m in, just haven’t had the itch to watch it when I do sit down finally at night.

This Olympics was fun. US followed through in basketball, gymnastics, women's swimming and most of the track stuff other than the hilarious failures of the 4 x 100 team. Peacock has been solid in providing access to the secondary events or coverage stripped of the NBC primetime BS. Paris seemed to provide great venues. Wish the next one was in a different US city than LA (or Chi).

If that's all you saw, I'd say you missed the good stuff.  I didn't watch but sporadically and really enjoyed the swimming and track that I caught.  The Women's soccer Gold game was fun, especially for soccer.
