Why would anyones head explode?

Any number of XY high schoolers could have done this.

That's really fast. 4:00 pace and keep it up for 500m more.

equivalent to 3:55 or 4:14

Time for World Athletics to act! How can this be allowed?Of course more testosterone gives better performance at all distances .

So for the men's record it's basically going through 1600 in 3:48 and kicking a 56.

Now thinking of Faith K. or Sifan Hassan, they'd be going through a 1600 in 4:18 and kicking in a 63?

Seems quite doable and both could go through in more like 4:15-16 and still have a 62-63.

It must be said this is a very soft WR performance, worth 1241 points on the scoring tables, equivalent to a 3:55 1500m or a 1:55 800m.

However, this is only the beginning for these ***deleted by LRC*** dsd athletes and the real WRs are in danger in these coming years.

LRC note. Please do not call intersex athletes male. She is legally known as a woman.

Just another “Nuts in the Guts” runner.

Any biological female that participates in this race is part of the problem.

Grow a set, ladies. Ok….. bad analogy there……

Along those lines, it's wroth noting that 2nd place in the race also almost beat Sonia O’Sullivan‘s outdoor world record of 5:25.36 which had stood since 1994. Niyonsaba’s mark also was faster than Genzebe Dibaba‘s indoor world record of 5:23.75 set in 2017.

I like Niyonsaba, but this is getting out of hand, I am sure all the T&F governing bodies are starting to sweat bullets right now.

Literally 1984 💀

meh it's a really soft record. If Hassan or Kipyegon went for this record, they could easily break this a a couple of seconds. The fact that O'Sullivan had this record before speaks volumes.

Quit allowing XY athletes to compete in the women’s (XX) category regardless of testosterone level. This is a sham and it’s bad for our sport.

Hey, Brojos, you know you don't have to insert "intersex" into every caption for Niyonsaba right?

Right at the top of the home page (& every time you cover her): "Niyonsaba, who is banned from running in women's events between 400m and the mile as she is intersex, ran..."

We know this. We know that you have an ideological agenda & a click-bait one to push. But please stop. It's not good journalism. It's not helpful. This is something that you have to write every time she does anything in the sport. It's tired. We get it. Enough already.

No. Testosterone is the problem. Not the chromosomes.

The LRC report linked to says, "The most newsworthy performance in the meet came in the women’s 2000 where Francine Niyonsaba, who is banned from running in women’s events between 400m and the mile as she is intersex..."

I really wish LRC would use the correct terminology rather than the inaccurate, obfuscating word "intersex." Persons with disorders/differences of sex development or DSDs - aka variations of sex characteristics or VSCs - are not in between the two sexes, a combo of the two sexes or of neither sex; they have specific conditions that affect either male sex development or female sex development. Today, most of the approximately 40 different, discrete DSD conditions are well-described in the medical literature and well-understood; and in nearly all cases, the cause/s of each condition are known too.

Niyonsaba and the other XY athletes who come under WA's current eligibility rules for women's competition all have differences or variations of male sex development that caused them to be born with anatomical anomalies of the genitals and urinary tract. But apart from those anomalies, they are robustly healthy persons with functioning testes that since puberty have produced normal male levels of testosterone, along with the male physiology that enables their bodies to use testosterone as males typically do. They have all the same physical advantages over females in sports that post-pubescent males without DSDs do. Persons with one of the XY DSDs that is most prevalent in women's elite athletics - XY 5-ARD, Semenya's DSD - can also father children.

Calling these athletes "intersex" is almost as misleading as referring to them as "women with naturally high testosterone" or "females with hyperandrogenism" the way most of the media usually does.

The LRC report could just as easily have said, "The most newsworthy performance in the meet came in the women’s 2000 where Francine Niyonsaba, who is banned from running in women’s events between 400m and the mile as she is XY with a difference of sex development ..." or "as she has variations of XY sex development"

Also, LRC is incorrect in stating that Niyonsaba "is banned from running in women’s events between 400m and the mile" due to having a DSD.

Niyonsaba, Semenya, Mboma and Masilingi and all other athletes with the specific XY DSD conditions to which the current WA DSD regulations are being applied are free to run in women's middle-distance events under one condition: they lower their T from the normal male range to under 5 nmol/L for six months. But lowering the T that their testes make is something these athletes refuse to do. In fact, the very idea is anathema to them.

The affected XY DSD athletes, their PR teams, backers and the MSM portray the restriction on their T levels in women's middle distance events as a total ban from those events because it makes them look like victims who are being treated unfairly by the WA. Everyone who repeats the lie that XY DSD athletes like Niyonsaba and Semenya are "banned" from the women's 400m to mile is playing along with the narrative that's been carefully constructed to get these athletes sympathy and allow the charade to continue.

Great run by Francene , let her frustrate Coe for ever 😜
