Anyone watching the Olympics?

Has anyone seen any of the trap or skeet shooting events televised, or there medal ceremonies ?? I would like to have seen a bit of that as, I think, Olympic trap and skeet are a bit different than international or other variations..

Yes.. A man in womens boxing is NOT right..
Also it chafes me that 20 or more years ago now, some loop hole was exploited to allow pro basket ball players to compete.. Again ..NOT right.. in my opinion..

I read a small article a bit ago about a womens weight lifting team at some college(?)
who were beaten by a man on an opposing womens team.. So the male coach registered as a woman and took the title back from the other team with a man.. I thought that was justice.. Thing is, hopefully the world is starting to get fed up with some of this nonsense...

The French have always seemed to consider themselves quite ..edgy, innovative and such in most types of the arts.. As far as the closing ceremony goes, a part of me hopes they screw it up over and above the opening ceremony to the point no one else will ever attempt anything so outrageous.. KnowwhatImean..

No skeet shown yet but the trap medals have been awarded. There should be highlights. there is on our ch9 

Mens skeet final was yesterday. I liked the trap better myself.

France was never known for it’s cleanliness, organisation for care factor for anyone else so what’s being said is no surprise. The marathon will be a dodge a turd event.

Domestic violence is now an olympic sport.

An aussie chick defeated the algerian. 

Simple. Create a third category for athletes with natural advantages. For example, there's a female runner (I think she was Ethiopian) disqualified internationally due to high natural testosterone levels. Despite being a woman with XX chromosomes she’s deemed to have an unfair advantage, though all Olympic competitors have some natural advantage otherwise they wouldn't be competing at that level. Some may have absorbed their twin’s genetics, or experienced atypical sex development in the womb. Why on EARTH would we tell someone they can't do what they love because something went sideways when they were only 18 cells deep into existence?!

I'm not talking about individuals who change their gender later in life, but those whose unique biology came about before they were even born. But a third category for those with natural advantages and transgender athletes would make for a fairer competition. Women with natural strengths would compete against others with similar advantages, while men with lesser natural strengths would compete against their peers.

Any woman I've spoken to has agreed that a third category would level the playing field. It's unfair to punish people born with advantages or exclude them from their passion. Women weren't even allowed to compete for the first 40 years of the modern Olympics and even then only in a limited capacity for a long time. We're not looking to exclude other people now. We want everyone to be able to compete, if it's what they want to do.

But it seems as always, if women advocate strongly for anything we risk being labelled as blue-haired radical feminazis. We're dismissed out of hand and told our opinions are wrong. Decision-makers, mostly men, haven't yet created a third category even though it would be such a simple fix and heaps of female athletes have advocated it for years now. Because women’s voices remain underrepresented at levels high enough to make those kinds of decisions it hasn't happened. We need men to get men to listen but the attitude often is 'you should be fighting for this yourself, we'd do something if you seemed to care'.

It's an impossible scenario.

Another headline of a high school (?) girls track and field team, shot put, that refused to compete with a male on a girls team.. The school board supposedly suspended the entire girls team.. Wonder how this will turn out..??

People are getting fed up with this BS..

Um.... As much as I have enjoyed watching bits of a number of Olympic competitions.. No matter how open minded, inclusive ..fill in the catch phrase.. I can't come any where near considering break dancing an Olympic level event.. Skate boarding was a bit better, but not by much.. Now I do enjoy snow board.. Those people are really moving and in danger of a big time wreck, if they mess up..

At 2200 hours local and I'm not sure what time, or if the closing will be shown today.. Hope they don't screw it up..

And I'll bet every one of them was in favour of this stuff until it personally affected them and was no longer fairy floss and unicorns that others had to deal with.
