    No, Worlds did that for everyone, yet the Olympics decision makers chose to let a male beat the crap out of a female who couldn't last beyond 46 seconds and a broken nose.

    You are a broken record man, you've got nothing to say and take your queus only from like minded bigots. Get a life. This person was in the Olympics before and you didnt even notice, but now you saw some tweets from the gender police.

    Not to interupt the he/she fest, but why is it we (USA) never lead in gold medals but lead in overall medals?
    It seems like for China it's either gold or nothing.

    I’ve wondered the same for a long time. It is an odd pattern.

    Primarily we lead in medals because we send the most competitors, and it’s not even close.

    This year it is something like 580 US competitors, 100 or so more than any other country except France, which I believe gets extra spots as host.

    China has 390 or so. They also have 1.3B people and the government trains (and
    drugs) those bots to beat Murica.

    So it isn’t really surprising that they would produce elite performers or that we routinely have the most total podiums.

    The Us has had the most golds at the last three Olympics, and through all of Olympic history has like 400 more golds than any other country.
    We are fine.

    We don't excel at a lot of sports that occur during the start of the Olympics. Mid way through the end we will dominate

    My question is why isn't the USA good at shooting? I'm sure we have more guns than the rest of the world combined

    Well, swimming and gymnastics. Even the men won a bronze (gymnastics.)

    Been a little disappointing not more golds in the pool but it has still been strong for the US.

    LBJ will deliver a gold.

    Amazing our 3v3 is so weak.

    The complaint is usually about transsexuals. But has been noted several times, there's no indication these women are trans.

    This is what happened to the same "male" boxer two years ago.
    Footage of Imane Khelif being beaten by female boxer in 2022 Women's World Championship Final resurfaces as former opponent Amy Broadhurst weighs in on gender Olympic controversy

    By the way the "male" boxer was most likely born with this condition.
    Androgen insensitivity syndrome: MedlinePlus Genetics
    Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell, which is typical for males. In people with androgen insensitivity syndrome, the body's cells and tissues are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens) that are important for normal male sexual development before birth and during puberty. As a result, affected individuals may have external sex characteristics that are typical for females.
