Exactly. The whole point of "is she a refugee?" is irrelevant in this situation, she was a refugee. The whole issue is the Belgium quota thing and I think that's going to cost her a place at the Olympics (because now that she's Belgian, I doubt IOC has grounds to let her compete in the Refugee Team?).

 

There's a couple of work arounds. First as long as she doesn't compete under the Belgium flag her nationality will remain unchanged (like people with dual nationality). The other way could be what the IOC and IJF did with Kosovo's Majlinda Kelmendi where she was allowed to compete for Albania for the Olympics and switch right back to Kosovo after the Olympics.

That's a shame for Pakistan, but at least one new country qualified. Pakistan have another fair chance tomorrow in the Women's -67kg, she has a 1 in 4 chance of qualifying! Maybe chances for Nepal and Afghanistan as well. You can always rely on Taekwondo to qualify new nations thanks to their excelent 4 quota limit.

    • 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
