Who’s this DariBilodid chick, and why do y’all love her?

 

Maybe if she wins the Olympic Gold in Tokyo you'll get to know her better :lol:

Pretty sure I reported on her 2019 European Games medal, and I still couldn’t remember who she was :p

If you’ve followed any of my reporting, you’d know I appreciate a good judo bout. I’m just not good with names, and I feel like we’ve already established this. It’s also hard for me to remember the names of younger athletes, who I haven’t seen as often. It still is quite shocking her name didn’t ring bell after how dominant she’s been this year. I just can’t believe the world’s top skateboarders aren’t getting any acknowledgement. They’ve achieved much more in longer careers (even though they’re 13-17)

Right. You're a judo fan but not good with names like Bilodid? It's like saying someone is a basketball fan but hasn't heard about James Harden :lol:

 

I don't watch skateboarding and probably never will :dunno:

I focus on flags more than names :dunno:. I should honestly know more names, but I just don’t. I don’t actually watch a lot of sport outside multi-sports games or world championships. I don’t really have one overall passion. I have a bunch of subjects/hobbies that I’m rather knowledgeable about. There’s also like 150 sports to follow, so it can be a lot. I really do need to get better at watching sports though.

Reminds me of this: (Hint #1 everyone in Europe knows how Michael Jordan looks like :lol: ). All these LeBron vs Jordan debates you have in USA are moot, Europe votes for Jordan all the time. Hint #2 nobody over here knows a damn thing about baseball, even a guy wearing a Yankee cap can't recognize Jeter :lol:

    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
    • badminton queen Carolina Marin announced that she can't take part into the home Europeans in the upcoming weeks because of her injured knee and calls it a career 😭  
    • yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots  
    • First big meet ofthe Outdoor Tour is the Maury Plant from Melbourne tomorrow morning.  Good few people from Poland last weekend have made the long plane trip to Oz.   https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-continental-tour/news/world-olympic-stars-maurie-plant-melbourne
    • With the MLB season getting underway and with the recent conclusion of the World Baseball Classic, here are the players on opening day rosters broken down by place of birth (including injured players):    United States: 694  Dominican Republic: 89  Venezuela: 60  Cuba: 20  Canada: 19  Japan: 14  Puerto Rico: 14  Mexico: 7  Panama: 5  Colombia: 3  Curacao: 3  South Korea: 3  Aruba: 1  Bahamas: 1  Germany: 1  Great Britain: 1  Honduras: 1  Italy: 1  Nicaragua: 1  Peru: 1  Taiwan: 1
