Right, so there is a good chance for trans inclusion then.
-
Sorry I just couldn’t like that opportunity slip by.
-
Well, she’s like 75, so who knows. Fluent in the language, and cooks some good traditional food...
-
But that’s not how it would (or at least should work). That’s why the issue is complicated. Most athletes I know want a fair competition, I think someone would receive a lot of blowback if they did that.
-
If there’s a chance for improvement, take it! Biathlon is doing fine, and being ahead of game could mean that it will be doing fine for a long time to come.
-
You’re too old to see the needed change.
-
I fucking knew you’d be transphobic the minute I posted that. Transgender athletes are going to be a thing. It will be a problem for biathlon one day.
-
As funny as that is, it’s not really a solution.
-
I could add me high school anatomy teacher to get you to four
-
I don’t believe that it’s sake for the sake of change. Sports aren’t permanent, they change overtime. It’s okay for me to want to try new things to see if it improves a sport.
-
And I’ve stuck my crystal dick into the vagina of truth, but that doesn’t mean that I all-of-sudden know untested future outcomes.
-
So then how do we let transgender athletes compete?
-
Is there even enough to give each team one?
-
Yes, that would be a problem, so we’d have to figure out a workaround.
-
IBU seems to want an e-sports division... Laser Rifles wouldn’t kill biathlon by the way, and we don’t know because we haven’t opened ourselves up to trying.
-
3 classes: Men, Women, Open. It’s the best solution until I hear a better one.
-
That would actually encourage smaller nations, so I have literally zero problem with that. Again, we’re still assuming a conclusion from something we haven’t tried.
-
Not opposed to an Open relay. I think every sport will have to have an “open” class one day.
-
What!? That’s such a Red Haering. That has nothing to do with what we were discussing.
-
Didn’t say we had to do with gender-on-gender, I just said that there’s not point to having the gender relays.
-
That would definitely be a great solution to try. Limit the pairs of skis, limit the support team, etc.
-
Laser rifles are also much cheaper from my understanding. Plus, you don’t have to pay for bullets or safe storage.
-
But we don’t know any of that, until we were to try such a thing, we wouldn’t know the consequences. People hate that you can’t “game” the rules under VAR.
-
That’s why we should just do away with the gender relays like @Wumo said. Relays are the one discipline where there’s no excuse for not mixing men and women. It would also mean more room for events like the individual.
-
Both great points I would definitely take away from some of the external challenges of shooting. Hypothetically, should laser rifles be introduced, maybe we should make the targets smaller to compete the challenge?
