You mean the one that goes: Thissssss Isssssss The Olym-pic so-ng You always hear the music, but you never hear the words.

I agree with some of this - with a major reservation - why does she have to "meet a standard" because she is a woman? So what if she has some elevated testosterone levels? That's her natural advantage - good for her. Just like every guy in these Olympics hit the jackpot with the Genetic lottery, so did she. She has the parts, why make her change? It's not even a medically acceptable action. IE doctors things it's a bad thing. Anyway, enough soap box. It's a complex thing - I suggest everyone take the time to educate themselves. This pod just popped up on my radar specifically about this topic: Theire Ep 1 focus is Christine Mboma, same situation (200 M runner). -
The head has to be up BEFORE the 15 meter mark. that should be a DQ. There shouldn't even be a need for a protest - they have already DQ'd swimmers (British in fact) for this in this Olympics. Swimswam said she got lucky and should have been DQ's: https://swimswam.com/honey-osrin-avoids-dq-makes-200-back-olympic-final-after-clearly-passing-15m-underwater/

I just flipped on NBC - I am calling my shot right now!!! 15.066!!!

Oh so this is about the boxing today. Like @TexasHooch said - yawn. People are talking about Imane Khelif as if she is trans. She's not, she's a woman with very high testosterone levels. And they passed the tests for being allowed to compete in the Olympics, so there should be zero discussion.

I think what you meant to say is that it is a Venn diagram that is a single circle.
-
Loser on the left, winner on the right.
-
Still have no answers for the stingrays though.
-
Why is the Free the only stroke they race at 50? I would love to see all the strokes just have a crazy fast race like this one.
-
Damn how long did they say it was since we didn't have a medalist in this event?
-
Jones better be a good closer, because he came out SLOW.
-
Well fuck that doper from China. But hey Silver is nice for Smith.
-
Here's where it starts: D'AMATO Alice Difficulty 5.600 ESPOSITO Manila Difficulty 5.700 NEMOUR Kaylia Difficulty 5.500 LEE Sunisa Difficulty 5.400 ANDRADE Rebeca Difficulty 5.900 BILES Simone Difficulty 6.900

I knew she had a redic routine, I didn't realize it was that redic. Awesome.
-
JESUS 15.066!!!
-
Her routine is just on another planet, that won't matter. Just guessing 14.4
-
Small step out on pass 3, but she was damn solid..
-
Look at that smile - she is having fun.
-
Still needs a solid damn routine. Let's see this.
-
Big miss right there for Andrade, already stepped out.
-
That was solid. And Biles has her game face on.
-
If that first pass is an indication - she is ON!!! BOOM!!! BRONZE!!!
-
Door is WIDE OPEN for Lee now. Nemour was not clean at all. 13.1 - that puts her out of medal contention. It's there for the taking for Lee.
-
Not the routine that Esposito needed - she might have just fallen (literally and figuratively) off the podium.
-
The biggest thing is that she's just good. She will run a really difficult routine out there which she can execute. I think they noted her routine alone is 1 max point higher than Andrade's. So she has some wiggle room. And that's before Andrade even goes.
