    Eurosport 2 HD claims it has this on, but there are runners.

    EDIT: We're on!

    Yes. Trans women are women, as far as society has it. If society changes its mind on that and bans sex changes, then so be it.

    And with that, you've nailed it again. Ever thought of a career in politics Jim?

    Which is interesting as it therefore has to come down to (as James pointed out) people not believing they actually are. I wonder what % of society actually, deep down, believe they are.

    The 200m heats were pretty funny.

    Jackson who won bronze in the 100m was comfortably going to qualify second in her heat but then decided to put the brakes on with 10m to go with the runners behind her still going all out.

    She ended up finishing 4th by four thousandths of a second and wasn't one of the fastest losers.

    The Australian woman seems to be considerably larger than the others. I was genuinely surprised she lifted her first attempt.

    I never realised the weightlifting was such a nexus of sporting prowess and tactical pen pushing [suspicion as to Yev's true interest].

    It's the best sport at the Olympics.

    There's so much to it.

    I've only watched it once IIRC, but really enjoyed it. When it got down to the business end it was brilliant.

    I knew about the three goes thing, which I always found a bit odd, but I didn't realise it wasn't just like passing in the high jump or pole vault, but instead involves furious form filling.

    So how is this going to go down anyway? Everyone else is going to scrap out the best they can do before the Chinese woman comes out and lift 20kg more on her first go?

    Was that a fail from Hubbard's second attempt?

    Mahow may have nailed this.

    Being completely ignorant of this I assumed she'd succeeded with the second lift.

    I did too initially and thought the commentator was confused as to why the judging panel hadn't requested a replay and not the other way around.

    Her WR is 148.

    She started a little low to really go for it. She just wanted to lock up the gold.

    187 is her record for the clean & jerk.

    Back on but it seems Eurosport 2 has shunted it for horses.

    Discovery+ has it or illegal streams.

    Mind blowing. Who made the decision to put fucking horse riding on two channels and the weightlifting final nowhere to be seen?
