Shitstorm of major proportions incoming :d 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Why?

Because Laurel Hubbard was born as a man (a man who set a New Zealand junior weightlifting record if I'm not mistaken), before transitioning to being a woman and then going on to absolutely destroy the competition in Australia/New Zealand earlier this year.

 

No matter if you're for or against her participation or just don't care, one would be blind to deny that it's going to cause debate :p

Ah, I see. Yes, if people can't get over Semenya, then this will stir up some debate for sure. :d

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

According to our federation we will send 2 athletes, a former doper Karol Samko in -85kg and the young talent former U23 European Champion Matej Kováč in -105kg https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/304051/vzpieranie-na-ms-do-anaheimu-cestuje-dvojica-samko-kovac/  so why there only 1 mentioned in the official entry list ? Is this only a provisional entry list or there something we missed :mumble:
