I’m missing quite a lot of it so I’m just getting it from the news.
Does anyone know of any other feel good stories of this Olympics like the two countries who decided to share the gold medal?
 
Just caught up with gymnastics. I’m so thrilled for Jade and Mykayla! Especially after Jade’s vault drama it was good to see her back to normal on floor. Very happy for the uk twins as well.

I’m very nervous for beam tomorrow though, love it but absolutely wrecks my nerves.

Oh, and anyone else thought Nina Derwael looks like Holly Gabriele?

I wonder how their competitors feel about the whole situation?

Hubbard now failed at 125. I can't say I'm a weightlifting expert but it looks like our girl is in joint first place.

I’ve read online that Hubbard is doing this purposefully so people can’t say that someone who has gone through puberty as a male has an advantage over someone who hasn’t.

That’s ugly if true. Plenty of women would have gone in their place and actually put the effort in to make the most of the opportunity. Why compete if you’re not going to try your best? That’s not really in the spirit imo.

It now says Hubbard 'DNF'.

Failed to complete a lift, apparently. :rolleyes:

What a joke I don’t buy it. They’re throwing it to prove some sort of sick point.

I feel like this is really starting to be the main issue with this stuff

The non-binary skateboarder clearly didn’t try her best and if that was her best, what was she doing there?

Laurel also. Outside of it being controversial, this isn’t the stage to be seemingly making a statement on something
