Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

I hope they find a better solution to this before the next games.

Yes, I agree. It seems something without a solution, and arbitrary demarcation never feels right (not knowing what the data they have is).

I think the entire podium trio in whichever race Semenya ran in Rio (1500 or 800) would be excluded now.
 
Her current PB would have put her 4th and she'd have need to take 0.35 off to win gold so I don't think that was ever going to happen but Silver was just a few hundredths off.
If she was on form she definitely stood a chance of medalling, it's the fastest track ever with the fastest spikes ever, the track was designed for taking PB's.

Her 21.88 national record would have been a lot quicker on there.
 
Dani Alves (snidey twat)…. How come he’s playing for Brazil? I thought it was under 23 players? Also, no Ferran Torres for Spain?

Each team are allowed 3 overage players to be named in their squad. Spain wanted to select Torres but we said no, just like Liverpool with Salah and probably a few other clubs too.

Semenya looked like a man and ran like a man, don’t consider any of her medals to be valid. As for that New Zealand weight lifter words just fail me, glad he/she made a balls of the competition.
 
Dont really understand why BBC1 and 5Live cover the same sport at the same time. Any idea how I can keep track of the boxing?
BBC only have small rights coverage of events granted to them by Discovery who bought the whole lot and are giving bare minimum to satisfy the legal requirements to have the Olympics in free to air in the UK.
