    USA mixed 4x400 set world record in the first heat. So cool to watch that kind of speed and focus.

    Yeah, the second leg was lucky that the referee told her to get in the right place for the hand off.

    Everyone should boycott your posts until you begin to properly research them and make some feeble attempt at accuracy. Nearly every statement you have made about the boxer is false....verifiably false. She was born a female and is a female. Period.

    This is also an ignorant post as it ignores simple facts. Assuming these women have Y chromosomes, it is likely they have androgen insensitivity syndrome. If true, they were born with a vagina, they more than likely have undescended testicles. As a result, these women have testosterone levels far exceeding a normal woman. This is competitively unfair.

    So by saying they were born a female and as a result should compete with women, is still ignoring the real issue. Put all of the facts on the table and have a normal debate. There’s a reason why we separated men and women sports. If you want to ignore the reasons why women sports were created, then eliminate women sports and make men and women compete in the same competition.

    What's the sport where the girls run around with a little basketball and whip the ball toward the goal. I saw a little bit on Danish TV this morning. It's super physical and some of the girls are hotties.

    Honorary Gator Katie Ledecky holds off Titmus and wins the 800M in record fashion with another Gold.
    She wins her fourth consecutive Olympic gold in the same event, a feat no female swimmer has ever accomplished.

    Ledecky’s reign of dominance is so unprecedented that she was both the youngest woman (she was 15 at London in 2012)
    and the oldest woman (24 at Tokyo 2020) to win Olympic gold in the event.

    Although in the case of the boxer it’s not that complicated. He ‘s a man who have certain feminine characteristics.

    That race should be right next to the Finke Tokyo races as Nesty's resume. She held the whole time until he whistled, motioned, and she took off and it wasn't close again. That is why she came to Florida. If somebody is an elite distance swimmer, they should be coming to work with him.

    Flipped on the TV at the end of Team Dressage. Dressage must be French for something like “dancing horse.” How in the world do you train a horse to do a pirouette or prance around?

    The German team won the gold medal in this running away, or should I say prancing away. What is interesting is that one of the women on the team, Isabell Werth, who just won her eighth Olympic gold medal, is 55 years old. She won a gold medal in seven different Olympics, and there is 32 years between her first gold medal and last gold medal.
