Oh no, they’ve got at Les Dennis

I'll definitely accept a man as a woman now, because Les Dennis said so...

 

[Tofino]

Bit annoyed it’s going to clash with the end of the men’s road race though.

Well he did play Mavis from Corrie very convincingly

 

[TheMiceInTheShed]

Does anyone else think that Khelif will have been told to lose today? Then the IOC can try and weasel themselves out of this mess before it gets to medal time?

I don't know if he'll have been told to lose - I think he'll have been told to pull is punches a bit and not touch his opponent's breasts.

But whether he wins or loses is immaterial.

He's a man and shouldn't be in women's competitions so they can all feck off. We need to keep up the pressure

Damn, can’t see it on iPlayer, and doesn’t look like KJK is streaming. Anyone?

 

[TheMiceInTheShed]

it’s crossed my mind but if you are that desperate to win you are prepared to cheat and beat up women in the process, would you be able to sacrifice yourself. Im not sure who they would be sacrificing their own win for, because it’s not like they are trying to advance a trans rights are human rights type cause. And I think the IOC are so boldened to keep defending this then they won’t care if he wins either. They will just defend their position that the best woman won.

The absolute best way forward now would be Khelif to win by default because the women do what Angela did and pull out after the first man punch. However I am concerned Hamori will have been read the riot act to not react the same way Angela did. Imagine not only sanctioning a man in the boxing ring but also pressuring a woman to not refuse/consent to fighting him.

If they have put pressure on her, she needs to go down and feign being knocked out if necessary, rather than risk injury.

BBC are showing the same men's cycle race on both feeds. I can't find a stream either.

The IOC talk about inclusivity but it’s not very inclusive to sell the rights to a subscription only service is it.

It’s not started yet, it’s still on the fight before. Must be running a bit late.

Do you know - I said to Mr Mice yesterday that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't broadcast the match, because then they can say what they like about it and there are no witnesses.

I still am a bit surprised, though.

 

[Tofino]

Did bbc show yesterday’s fight? I was out so didn’t try to look for it. BBC are only allowed two live feeds and they will prioritise medal / team GB events so I can’t blame them for it on this occasion.

if anything eventful happens it won’t take long for clips to be shared.

Its on discovery plus - well boxing is not sure what time this match is meant to be on

Yes, they showed it on the iplayer feed

 

[Tofino]

Honestly I’m quite suspicious about the boxer in blue in this match

 

[TheMiceInTheShed]

Just checked - it's not going to be aired on a national TV channel. The fight can apparently only be streamed on Peacock whatever that is.

LES!!!!!’ Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[Libbie]

It’s currently on BBC iPlayer, it was just announced on the beeb after the gymnast medal ceremony!

I'm just gonna follow this thread

 

[Salted Caramel]

Watching on Discovery plus. The Hungarian has landed a couple of good punches and the crowd are on her side for sure. The man has been warned twice by the ref. The man has taken the 1st round (do they call it a round?)

Yes. I mentioned the same thing earlier. I suspect a win will invite conversations and scrutiny that a number of people would rather avoid.
