Canada in the Olympics - slow Friday

I am soooo thrlled - two swimming medals for Summer McIntosh - 3 swimming medals - LOVE IT
What are you guys watching ... and the best is the guy from Turkiye who won silver for shooting .... one hand in his pocket - no gear
We need to send our hunters - they could do weel I reckon
I quit watching the moment i seen a man hitting a women in boxing. The woke can have it sorry I get trans etc but buddy was born a man and still has the male anatomy and muscular structure of a man. Women have worked their asses off to be included and in last 5 or so years these Liberal Governments world wide have set them back 100 years again. Oh and for the want to jump down my throat because I spoke out against something in the rainbow crowd disagreeing does not = hate even though you think it does cause sockboy says so, He is one of the leaders of the putting women back 100 years crowd and Fuck him and the horse he rode in on POS>> Feminist my ass..

I agree with you ... there was a swim meet in Barrie ON that had the same issue - was worse actually

Track and Field has ruled against any trans athelte competing in other than the biological gender... all sports should follow -
 
Ah yes the trans boxer from Algeria where homosexuality is illegal - makes sense. Look not doubting that there may be an intersex component to it and maybe there should be a different category for such - but the man hitting a woman thing is a bit ungenuine as presented.

I'm not "woke" -political lines don't align with that and even I think that's a stretch.... be mad at something we know for sure... the Dutch guy who raped the 12 year old child.

Maybe biology discussions should be limited on a forum for transportation.
 
I have to agree it's a touchy subject and there will for sure be a lot of strong opinions. My wife and I watch the Olympics every night with a beverage or two. It's great to see the best of the best of the best (MIB reference) in the world compete, win, lose, fall, laugh, cry, and the emotion on their faces when they learn they are currently the best in the world at something they trained for for years or decades.

I'll say my reaction to the ladies boxing is awfully close to Robs. 1000% any unfair advantage be it chemical or biological has no place in the Olympics. You're not the best when you have an advantage, you are cheating.

Anyway, for a transport forum, sometimes we have threads in the coffee shop that are not transport related.

Keep well, happy long weekend, it's almost time to open the bar in my office for whoever is still here.

I did NOT see that, wild...

Been watching a bit of everything - was watching some beach volleyball during coffee this am before work. Last night caught some swimming, that Summer is a solid swimmer! She will be back for the 2028s for sure!
