There's no easy answer for this and can sometimes get a bit philosophical. "What is a woman?" "Does the sport classification of a woman differ?" "If so, in what ways?" "Do some biological women not fit the definition of a sports classification woman?" "Can some trans women fit the definition of a sports classification woman?"

 

Not a fun exercise...

Or male athletes with lower hormonal level...let them increase it? Sure no but in mediana we are looking for ideal world / rules/ justice. Non-existent idea. We are not ideal, this is not a theory. Bad luck for women imo that they are under stronger pressure of characteristics "proving they are female". Often created by us. We have it much easier. Male looking woman has i think much more difficult life than "female looking male". Imagine....😉 Oh Lennon, you were right.

I want to ask a question:

A local Russia specialist wrote about this saga and Russia’s role in it and he says one of the two boxers in question (maybe Khalif but not remember which one) defeated a Russian boxer who was unbeaten before. After that came the DQ which conveniently erased this result thereby restoring the Russian’s unbeaten-ness. He says that there might be why the Russian influenced IBA took up this issue at that particular time. (Seemingly it did not bother them that these two athletes competed for a while in IBA events)

What do you think about this? Might there be sth in his assertion?

There is also a point where having too low of hormones levels should qualify you for a TUE, because it becomes a health hazzard.

Both things can be true at the same time: maybe the current Olympic boxing rules aren't adequately handling athletes with DSD *and* maybe these two boxers were targeted because they defeated Russian boxers.

 

Either way, I do feel we should take everything the IBA says with a lot of skepticism.

I agree with this.

Two of the boxing judges and referees (both Kazakh) were stood down during the Olympics due to corruption fears, only after they had judged/refereed almost 50 bouts. They were removed from duties prior to the medal bouts.

 

Nine judges/referees at the tournament were included in the ‘high risk’ of corruption category by McClaren.

    • Fewer people do do this sport compared to the 90s, less money is spent on it, etc. In the case of women, at some point this sport was almost abandoned because of the belief that it was impossible to beat Scandinavia ( the times of Norwegian domination with Bjoergen and Johaug at the forefront). Only in the last 2 years has Markus Cramer been hired, who is gradually rebuilding the men's and women's teams. Suffice it to say that the last medalist of the World Championships for Italy in the women's was Arianna Follis in 2011... I will also remind you that in 2022 Pellegrino and de Fabiani trained with the Russian team, because the rest of the Italian team was in such poor shape that they couldn`t train together 
    • Well that is a totally different question  I too have wondered what happened to Italian cross-country and how there is no one coming for so many years. But it shouldn't take away from the sports where progress has been made. 
    • Where to Watch guide.  Discovery plus in most of Europe       https://www.ucitrackchampionsleague.com/watch-the-races
    • Appetite grows with eating. Especially since it's not like we develop in every winter sport... For example, 20 years ago we were a powerhouse in cross-country skiing and now we have only 1 Pellegrino (34 age) and a few talented youngsters. And let's remember that our performance in Turin was objectively weak for us: only 11 medals in total. Now, when I hear that we will to win 2O+, some discipline must definitely add medals and also compensate for the losses in cross-country skiing, for example.
    • The problem is that this mixed team has never played together since then. There was talk of personal obstacles. I don't know how it`s now.
    • Well that explains why she is wearing more clothes with every passing day.   Nevertheless that team is still one of the best in the world and is a vast improvement on what Italy was doing 10-20 years ago. 
    • Any idea where a full schedule can be found yet? I remember last seasons the website was always godawful in terms of providing that basic kind of information..
    • Constantinis team have made huge improvements since 2022 even if they are not best yet. And Constantini never was world leading in mixed doubles before Beijing olympic either so it is not like she really have lost anything since 2022 either, except not being able to repeat that success.
    • She had health problems yesterday. Nevertheless, after the gold in mixed doubles with Mosaner in 2022, I counted a bit more on her development. I still think that the biggest chance for us in 2026 will be the mixed team, rather than our teams.
    • I don't know who Italy should field for the doubles? Sinner has the greatest individual strength but he probably doesn't train with anyone on the team. Last year Sinner played 2 doubles with Sonego in the Davis Cup (two wins) but this year Sonego isn`t in the squad. On the other hand the Bolelli-Vavassori doubles are well-coordinated, as is the Argentine one, but individually these players don't even mean as much as Sinner's 1 hand. For me the Sinner/Berettini option is possible but the question is: did they train together on last day?
