I’m watching. Hamori’s arms are so much shorter

 

[Terrible]

IPlayer!

 

[Tofino]

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

Oh good I was having to watch on my phone as I couldn’t stream it to tv! I can’t really comment anything because I don’t know what’s normal or not in boxing.

 

[Pretty Hate Machine]

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

I clocked the same thing straight away. I think it was Janjaem Suwannapheng and they had previously been disqualified for failing the "gender test". Do they think we are blind?

 

[Tofino]

This is the current scoring (?) and looks like Khelif is winning?

I stand corrected. T' internet lied to me - hard to believe!

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?)

Thank you for the update - it's something I can't watch.

yes that’s the name as I started to google it but then this event started so not got any further yet. I thought there was a prominent Adam’s apple (in addition to just looking male bodied overall). And what Sharon said earlier really stuck in my head too.

No, I can’t watch either, it’s a barbaric sport, and the even more so when there’s a man competing in the women’s field!

 

[Tofino]

The man won and goes on to compete for a medal.

Oh he is guaranteed at least a bronze now. Don’t know how that’s worked.

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.

They showed it on the 10pm news. To which my husband, who had previously argued with me to tell me that Imane is female, immediately shouted “THAT’S A MAN! 100%!” at the TV when he saw Lin Yu-Ting.

(Also I have just learned that if you do a Google search for “Chinese biological male boxer”, the first result that comes up is Lin Yu-Ting, rather than, idk, other Chinese biological male boxers)

 

[Tofino]

I didn’t realise the winner of this fight was guaranteed at least a bronze. No way was he going to let her win. A medal was in touching distance:

It's a good thing that Khelif is getting a medal. Keeps it in the news. The worse it is now the better it is in the long run imo. Hope Hamori is ok.

How very dare you! Dude 100% looks like lady.

 

[Salted Caramel]

Yes, he won all three rounds. Had a point docked by the ref for holding (he actually pushed the Hungarian onto the canvas four times) and also had warnings for punching with the inside of the glove.

There were a lot of "tears" as he left the ring having won and is guaranteed a medal.

The Hungarian did herself proud, big cheers every time she punched him in the face.

I wonder why too. I’m sure it’s to do with special powers stemming from his penis-looking vagina*, and not his XY chromosomes or anything like that

*that apparently everyone on Twitter and Reddit except us have seen and can confirm its existence of

I think Hamori has benefitted (physically) from the outcry over the brutality of the treatment Khelif meted out to Carini.

He didn't DARE use such force a second time.

Not taking anything away from her though - she had a lot of guts even to get into the ring with him.

Hazel Appelyard has footage on twitter, it's brutal

I dunno, he definitely tried. Hamori did a great job avoiding most of his big punches. I think Khelif caught Carini with that big punch so early on it just destroyed her confidence.
