OlympicsFan 858 Posted September 29, 2019 #1361 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just now, Dunadan said: Quick explanation: In which athletics events do heavier athletes usually compete? Hammer, discus throw, shot put. Which country's performance in those events is getting worse, going from always winning 3,4,5 medals at every WCH edition to 0 medals in 2017 and maybe 1 this year? Germany. Therefore: hate on the "obese people" who win medals in those events, they set a very bad example for children. Who is the most evident example of top athlete who is extremely and unhealthily skinny? Klosterhalfen, a German. Therefore: no problem with dangerously underweight people, they're not such a bad example for children. Quick explanation: Dunadan isn't very good at logical thinking, so he needs to make up nonsense claims to "support" his "arguments". 1) You have no clue why i am actually saying the things i am saying. 2) So if Germany won 0 medals in 2017, then why didn't i say what i said back then according to your logic? 3) Germany could win between 0 and 4 medals in throwing events (Hussong, 2 x men's javelin, Schwanitz), but that wouldn't have been in line with your narrative, so you had to leave javelin throw out. 4) So your way of criticizing me for calling obese people unhealthy is by calling skinny people (Klosterhalfen) unhealthy ... ? Interesting approach ... of shooting in your own foot. I would like to know though: What makes you think that a) Klosterhalfen is unhealthily skinny b) Kloserhalfen is the most evident exmaple of a top athlete who is extremely and unhealhily skinng? Could you maybe show me the metrics you used to come up with that claim? 5 ... 1.000.000) I could make many more points, for example like saying that i criticized athletes from other sports where Germany never was really successful (for example weightlifting) the same way, but that won't have any effect on you, because you clearly (as usual) aren't interested in a discussion and only wanted to jump on the bandwagon. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted September 29, 2019 #1362 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Nice liar, but there's a good search function on the forum... 5 August 2017 after men's discus throw with no medal for Germany "I think we have to face reality: An event where 3 fat guys, who probably couldnt run 100 m without a heart attack, win the medals cant be called a sport." intoronto, Monzanator, szy123 and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,936 Posted September 29, 2019 #1363 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is by far the oddest thread I’ve seen in while. Everyone watches the events and talks about the results, and then in between 2-3 people take turns arguing with each other, and it’s not the same 2-3 people every time. We’re going to need group therapy after these world championships Dolby 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 14,901 Posted September 29, 2019 #1364 Share Posted September 29, 2019 To be fair, saying Klosterhalfen is unhealthily skinny is pretty much the same as saying DeAnna is unhealthily big. If they were so unhealthy, they wouldn't be able to do what they do. szy123 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Klosterhalfen could have a back-up career in ski jumping... but she's probably too tall for that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I'm in the same camp as whoever says "good for Price and I hope it shows people you don't have to be skinny to be perfectly worthy".
