Woke liberal bull$hit alert.
IOC praises weightlifter Laurel Hubbard before transgender athlete’s Olympic debut
View attachment 766104
The International Olympic Committee has praised the weightlifter Laurel Hubbard’s “courage and tenacity” as she prepares to become the first transgender athlete to compete in an Olympics on Monday. The IOC’s medical and science director, Dr Richard Budgett, said “everyone agrees that trans women are women”.
Hubbard’s participation in Tokyo has proved controversial with her supporters hailing it as a historic moment for trans rights with the IOC’s critics believing that the 42-year-old New Zealander, who had never competed internationally until transitioning at 35, has an unfair and substantial advantage.
Budgett accepted that the issue was “large, difficult and complex”, but backed Hubbard’s right to compete.“To put it in a nutshell, the IOC had a scientific consensus back in 2015,” he said. “There are no IOC rules or regulations around transgender participation. That depends on each international federation. So Laurel Hubbard is a woman, is competing under the rules of her federation and we have to pay tribute to her courage and tenacity in actually competing and qualifying for the Games.”
While Budgett appeared to accept Hubbard had an advantage from going through male puberty, he stressed that inclusivity was an important factor too. “There are lots of aspects of physiology and anatomy, and the mental side, that contribute to an elite performance,. It’s very difficult to say, ‘yes, she has an advantage because she went through male puberty,’ when there’s so many other factors to take into account,” he said.
“It’s not simple. Each sport has to make their own assessment depending on the physiology of that sport, so that they can ensure there is fair competition, but also the inclusion of everyone – whether they’re male or female – so they are able to take part in the sport they love.”
As first revealed in the Guardian, the IOC has delayed updating its 2015 guidelines because finding a consensus has proved so difficult. But, as things stand, they state that trans women can compete in the women’s category without gender reassignment surgery as long as they keep their total testosterone level in serum below 10 nanomoles per litre.
Those guidelines have been challenged on multiple fronts, with critics noting the vast majority of females, including elite athletes, have a testosterone range of 0.12-1.78 nmol/L.
Recent scientific papers have also shown that anyone who undergoes male puberty retains significant advantages in power and strength even after taking medication to suppress their testosterone levels.
“There is a lot of disagreement across the whole world of sport and beyond on this issue of eligibility,” said Budgett. “Everyone agrees transgender women are women. But it’s a matter of eligibility for sport, and particular events, and it really has to be very sport-specific.
“One of the reasons there is no new framework published yet is not just because of the difficulty in coming to any consensus. It’s because it would have been inappropriate to come out with new guidelines just before the Olympics. There will be a new framework to help individual sports and we’re working very closely with them, but it’s not published yet.”

So having narrow hips which exert more force is ignored.
Having more muscle mass is ignored.
Having greater bone density ignored.
Having greater lung and heart capacity is ignored.
But testosterone is only counted lol.....
The IOC is retarded and this fraud who couldn't compete with the best of men and has to come to bully women with his disgusting pleas is an affront to all girls who dream of competing fairly and female rights.
What Trump said about it lol;
He asked the crowd what they thought of “men” being “allowed to compete in women’s sports” before alluding to Hubbard.
“Did you see the weightlifter?” Trump asked. “I hate to tell you this, women, but [she] shattered your long-standing record.”
Trump then claimed it was “so unfair” that Hubbard is allowed to compete.
He also claimed that, if he was the coach of a female sports team, he would only recruit transgender athletes.
The FRAUD went out in the early stages, no medal, no where near.
It got dusted by the females, great news!

2020 Tokyo Olympic Games women's weightlifting over 87 kg group A competition. Chinese player Li Wenwen set an Olympic record for snatch, clean and jerk, and an Olympic record for overall performance, and finally won the championship with an absolute advantage of 37 kilograms ahead of the second place.

Yes watched her, she is one of the most gifted athletes ever seen. She literally did every lift with ease. Her age is only 21 as well. She has at least three more games ahead of her lol.
Emily Campbell became the first British female weightlifter to win an Olympic medal with +87kg silver.
The 27-year-old lifted a total of 283kg as China's Li Wenwen won gold with a new Olympic record of 320kg.
Campbell, making her Olympic debut in Tokyo, was fourth after the snatch but moved on to the podium with successive clean and jerk lifts of 156kg and 161kg.

The Olympics games is so biased in its setup its not even funny anymore.
Any competition when China show dominating positions, like Weight-lifting, they limit the total number of players one country can send to.
Any competition when the poor insecure American dopers are good at with their magic drugs, like swimming, they wont have any such limitation, instead they will award 100 golds to them, setup a new swimming competition for every 5 meter difference.
Just imagining weight-lifting offer 40 golds and China can send as many players as they are qualified...

It's very satisfying, every medal is very hard to get and there are many countries waiting for their first medal or first gold medal.
What other sports can Indonesia win gold in the next few days?
The sports that China can win gold are basically in the first half of the Olympics.

As China become richer and technologically advanced with access to world class training facilities and coaches, more Chinese athletes will win gold in sports like swimming, cycling, rowing, sailing, fencing, athletics.
I believe the US is more scared about China’s sports achievements in 2020 Tokyo Olympics than 2008 Beijing Olympics because China now entering into sports that are dominated by Western countries.
China winning at swimming and athletics will cause a double blow for the US. It will increase China’s gold medal tally at the expense of US gold medal tally because China will be winning events previously won by the US. Zero-sum.
