Yes, but Asher-Smith's presence makes you a medal contender. Funnily enough the British 800m women got hot only after Semenya got banned (Muir's lack of sprint finish doesn't make her a medal threat at 800m global champs IMO).

Semenya beating Mu would have set them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 791 Posted August 3, 2021 #1187 Share Posted August 3, 2021 "Women's" 200 m and "women's" 800 m were two of the dirtiest races ever, especially Thompson, Thomas and the two brits. Women's hammer throw was far weaker than expected (thanks to the americans flopping) and men's pole vault was pretty depressing without Kendricks. Katir looked very good in the 5000 m, would be too funny if he would actually win gold. Also a great start for Poland, maybe they can indeed get to 6 medals in total (only 4 out of Nowicki/Fajdek/Dobek/women's 4x400 m relay/Andrej... need to deliver).

No medals looks a serious possibility and I would not hesitate how much an effect that will have - even those putting in good performances will be affected. Told you so ... first medal and probably multiple more to come. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Crazy that Mu was allowed to compete but not the other intersex athletes. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
