Sorry that sounded harsh. It’s just i remmeber her being mentioned a medal contender at previous games and she has never got particularly close.

Oh dear. She always underwhelms at the Olympics.

The banned federation actually banned them. The IOC basically took the 2021 rules and didn’t change them to avoid rocking the boat.

World athletics moving more and more towards a ranking system for the world champs next year. Very tough standards. We know how much the selectors hate world rankings so it won’t help out athletes .

Through that boxer is hardly new to the sport and is not favourite for gold. I am pretty sure it’s the same condition as Semenya and the other runners.

DSD like Caster Semenya.

Cohoon was way off qualifying with quite a poor performance from him.

The Telegraph push notification is about three medals for Team GB but still disappointment.

Three golds will still be a good improvement from Tokyo but maybe underperforming to the predictions of six golds. In LA rowing will be a high profile sport as the finals will be primetime in the UK.

After that start Bronze is still a good result.

Big disappointment to not get gold there. Rowing on for two golds? Is there a third from the Mens’s four/Men’s eight? The Men’s pair and Women’s eight look bronze at best boats.

are having a sup par games so far.

A very good bronze that.

The International Olympic Committee has asked for talks between the World Anti-Doping Agency and the United States, including the country’s anti-doping agency USADA, to resolve a dispute over jurisdiction in doping matters, it said on Wednesday. A bipartisan group of US lawmakers on Tuesday threatened to cut USA funding for Wada, accusing it of failing to properly investigate alleged doping by Chinese Olympic swimmers. The USA, the largest single country funder of Wada, has accused the global anti-doping body of not disclosing that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for performance-enhancing trimetazidine (TMZ) in China months before the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. “We have asked for a dialogue between WADA and all the stakeholders,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told a press conference. “From our understanding the question is about respect of international agreements and those international agreements have been signed by everyone around the world, including the United States.” The swimmers were cleared by a Chinese investigation, which said they were inadvertently exposed to the drug through contamination at a hotel but the Department of Justice has since launched an investigation. WADA said it had no evidence to challenge China’s findings. The incident, however, cast a shadow over the Paris Olympics and sparked a major row between the global and American anti-doping agencies, drawing in the IOC which said Wada was the only global body responsible for anti-doping. Wada responded to USA allegations by saying it would take the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) to the Independent Compliance Review Committee, a move that could jeopardise plans for the U.S. to host the 2028 summer and 2034 winter Olympics in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City respectively.

Pitman out.

I am not so sure.

Judo is surely heading for a funding cut if not a Funding axe.

The IOC have made the USA sign a contract saying the investigation will be dropped.

Or the ranking round.

Yes. There is a lot of doping defenders on here.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/30/usada-wada-china-swimming-row The IOC will have to accept USA court cases against WADA or lose 2028. They not going to be able to stop them.

Because a lot of people even on here think it’s a an American plot.
