Mkbw50 381 Posted February 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Sir Jason Kenny has retired. He won seven Olympic gold medals and two silvers, making him the best British Olympic athlete ever. A sad day, but as I first read the headline as "Jason Kenny dies" instead of retires Dennis and Ted 2 As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, considering they would be condemned as homophobes and so on, but on the other hand, we seem not to have an open dialoge about trans representation in sports and it's creating more friction and probably just more difficult and negative atmosphere for those trans athletes themselves.. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,755 Posted March 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The good news is that the UCI have clearly told British Cycling they’re pushing it too far & the TG cyclist won’t compete as a woman for the time being. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/60934099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, you know, theoretically is possible, but extremely unlikely.
