2016 where we just act like everything is A-OK when a man runs in the women's 800 meter.

This has to be a joke, right? You can't allow a person born male compete with female born. How unfair is that? If they start allowing crap like that to happen, females won't hold many records in the future. I don't mind if someone that thinks they are female act female and live female, but if allowed to compete with females, it's just not cool. We hear all the time about how females just can't compete with males no matter the sport. Why has that changed? I can see future Olympic female sports being drag queens going for gold!

Seen a women's team 4x100 track qualifiers DQ'd for false start.
That would have to suck, train for years and you false start and DQ your team.

so it's hermaphrodite. Should be treated like the natural freak it is... clearly.
I know you've worked on people before where you weren't sure of their gender.

They are out there, they're pissed and they're coming for your Olympic accolades!!

Really? That's surprising to me.

I've had a few where I was unsure. A few were transexual or a least I thought they were.

I turned on the race with Juwanna Mann and my 10 year old daughter asked me if this was a race for men when they did a close-up of that person. I said yeah it was a men's race, but then I thought I saw someone with long hair in the background. So I said hang on let me see when they showed someone else. Well the next person looked female so I said it must be a woman's race. When they were running my daughter said that looks like a man racing the women. With this much confusion, no wonder the bathroom situation is so messed up.

Obviously Undetermined has some f**ked up biology. I would expect when she unrolls her Johnson, it hangs halfway to her knees.
On the other had we do have Brittany Greiner on our women's basketball team.

Anyone watching the mens? 50k race walk?

Why any straight red blooded male would do that is beyond me. Its basically the "50k who can have the gayest runway walk"
Racewalking includes a huge following outside the USA.

Trivia: No American has ever medaled in either the 20k or 50k events.

:americanflag: USA medal count as of 9:11 am, 08/19/16: 100
35 Gold
33 Silver
32 Bronze

btw, fun fact: USA has the record for most medals won in a single Olympics, with a total of 239: 78 Gold, 82 Silver, 79 Bronze. This happened at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis.

I don't even know if she is competing in these Olympics but I just found some pics on this long jumper nina djordjevic that kill me:



Look at her in this vid. Stunning *** as I have ever seen starting at 00:50:

1,2,4,3

Close on 1,2 but gave the edge to #1 for the digging for gold.
Didn't think Semenya was the most man like in the race, the 6'5 dread wearing girl ? for sure looked male. But, Semenya with the bulge might have pushed her over the top, close call, photo finish if you will.

so they have a power walk race in the Olympics also?

[roll]

Jesus Christ. They should just add sack races and "who can run the fastest balancing an egg in a spoon" races.
ALso badminton, ping pong, & air rifle (bb guns).

Okay -- here's something to add interest to final days. US Gold total in past seven Olympics back to 1988- 36-37-44-37-36-36-46.

Pretty consistent. Either 36 or 37 in five of seven Olympics, with Atlanta and London as the outliers.

At 30 now. Would love to see total top 36...

By the way, throw out the 'boycott' Olympics of 1980 and 1984 and the remarkable consistency returns: 33 gold in 1972 and 34 gold in 1976.

Already up to 35. It's gonna happen.

I was reading an account of that Olympics. Quite amusing. It was the third one of the modern era, and it hadn't become a giant spectacle yet. It was originally supposed to be on the East Coast, but St. Louis managed to steal it away -- at which point most European countries decided to blow it off. In the end, only 12 nations competed, and something like 500 of the 600 total athletes were Americans -- except many of the 'Americans' were apparently European ringers. Norway is STILL protesting two gold medals they claim were won by citizens of their country improper enticed to compete as Americans.

By the way, setting that Olympics aside, and the one boycotted by Eastern European countries in 1984, the most medals ever won by the US was 110 in Beijing in 2008. That would be a good target to break this year.
I think it'll happen - it's probably better to go by that benchmark anyway (2008) because of the number of countries competing.

No, my kids and wife prefer me to stay firmly on the "non-hip swiveling" side of the street. No offense to anyone who walks a different path.
LOL that's what I thought -

actually, that walk run thing looks like something we used to call the green apple quickstep
