Womens 800m heats coming up
Good lord, this isn't even fair.
Why would anyone want to watch a race with them in it and support the farce that it is. Turn the TV or internet off, go take a beer break if in the stands when they come on and and send a message.

Cellphine Chespol was doping when she ran those incredible times. Now she can't even beat a Jamaican. How the heck is she gonna beat Hiwot Ayalew and the rest.
Well, Praught is not really your typical Jamaican. She's at least half white (dad I think is mixed race, so maybe more than 50% white).
That and she's never lived in Jamaica

That's exactly what I do. There's no point.

Support the others. My kid knows one of the girls who was in Semenya's heat, and also considers it grossly unfair. It's a joke. What are the IAAF doing?
It isn't hard - have a chromosomal test, and if you have a Y, you're in the mens (or call it opens if you want to be politically correct).
Ajee Wilson is the best femal 800 runner in the world.
Let it go. Semenya isn't taking PEDs. It's natural. There may come a day when a gene is isolated which proves a genetic advantage for Ethiopians 5000m to Marathon. Do we then make all Ethiopians take a depressant to counter the genetic advantage possessed by Ethiopians? An Ethiopian gene has already been identified. Ethiopians are highly resistant to chronic altitude sickness. No one has proven yet that the same gene may make Ethiopians superior distance runners. Be careful going down the road of penalizing naturally unique individuals or groups of individuals.
I'm for fairness, and it's not fair. I am talking about fairness for everyone else, not fairness for Semenya alone. You have to weigh up the rights of women with the advantage of a Y chromosome, against the unfairness to all other XX women.
Where do you draw the line? Can any male decide to identify as a female, and be allowed to run against women?
No - you have a Y chromosome, you don't compete in the restricted women's category.
It's a joke.

Just ignore that idiot, the entire situation is a spectacular farce. It is horrendously unfair for all the actual women involved. The best the actual women can do in this competition is bronze. Some of the women in 9th/10th are just shattered. But this is the side affect of letting the sjw/tree-hugger types run the world.
Women's 800 will be another snoozefest. Men's 800 coming up will be good.
