2016 Rio Olympics: Official Day 7 Live Discussion Thread

Hopefully men will be banned from women's events before 2020 so Ajee gets a fair shot to run in an Olympic final

Kate MF Grace!

Does Hammond have a terrible angle of sight on the finish line? He never gets the order right at the finish. Dude, just watch the race on a monitor or retire already.

Caster Semenya is bae

Please please stop the "dude" and "men" talk.

You are foreclosing the ability to have any rational debate on this

I am looking forward to the final. I hope semanaya runs a world record. I hope she isn't tired. I hope people come to understand why there are people that think Caster shouldn't be running with XX females.

Great run from Kate Grace

What was that overweight out of shape man doing in the women's 800?

Dad: "It looks like Tracey Jordan is beating all those girls"

good post

cutting off your pp doesn't make you a women

Semenya is a woman. The problem is her testosterone levels. She essentially is engaged in natural doping.

She's akin to being an athlete that is allowed to dope with no restrictions whatsoever while no one else can. It's not a gender issue. It's a competitive issue. She cannot participate as things stand without throwing the integrity of her events in the garbage.

A rational debate on this topic can occur only when people accept that people with internal testicles are, in the context of track and field, men.

I totally agree with your sentiments, but if you think LRC was EVER in the position to engage in rational debate, you haven't been here long.

This has been a great meet for field events! And Trey Hardee has been a good addition to the broadcast.

SA have a W4x4? Wonder if CS is in the pool.

Why is Schippers mentioned with those hermaphrodites? She's an attractive female.

+1. If anything, Schippers looks extremely soft (in terms of muscles) compared to most of the other women she competes against. She also has a [female] chest, unlike a lot of flat (but real) women she races against.

No way is she a hermaphrodite like Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui.
