Dear oh dear major league going on. None of these girls are doubling up with pistol shooting, obviously.

Trampoline final now on. Another hard-to-understand-what’s-going-on sport. You want to stay away from the corners apparently.

Now up to Fourth on the Only Medal Table Which Counts, the total medals won - 23

Perhaps he was a tightrope walker in a previous life.

Tima Godbless will perhaps be granted beautiful children, but not an Olympic medal this time.

Exactly, silvers are great to have but you need golds to make them valuable.

YEEEEES!!!

Need more, need more….

Chinese unexpectedly loose in the Diving, we are well in silver, but Mexico in Gold. Very tight.

Damn! Silver. Gold to Croatia.

We actually had a streak of golds, but never a proper team, only several individuals. Big gold chance in the rowing now - men’s pair

Judges’ decision on a straight - usually only DQ if they hit another runner.

Have watched pretty much all swimming races - not a single false start. Athletics - false start third race.

Including BBC1

Very big crowd already.

Because at 8 years old girls and boys often play football and even rugby together. It is only after puberty that significant sex differences emerge, which is why the rules are written as they are.

Because until you see how it looks on TV you don't know how bad it is.

Errm no.... what has happened over the last couple of years is that the major Olympic sports like cycling, athletics, swimming etc have realised that women's sports would be dead if the Left got their way and have very sensibly decided to protect them. A major victory for common sense. Now, some gender fanatic on the IOC had dug up these two banned athletes and forced international boxing to include them. Even then it was not that big a story....until the first fight took place and all the world could see what an unfair & dangerous mismatch it was.

Rain & lightning delay in the late night match. Closing it down & presumably the v match gets finished later - was 1-1 & something. Hmm, French announcer just sai the match is annullé….

It is always like this now with the pile-up of medals because of complete equality; Athletics & Swimming must overlap. Anyway, alarm not until 08:00 tomorrow.

The only approach is not to argue with them, but to diagnose them.

That doesn’t mean you get NO fast times. Just not as many.

It is like that moment in the Road Runner cartoons where gravity reasserts itself.

The athletes in question are NOT being discriminated against. They are perfectly free to participate in any form of sport they choose.

Actually, they are doing something wrong. Average athletes are consciously choosing to place themselves in a category to which they do not belong because they know that they are likely to win & thereby profit. It’s called fraud.
