i keep hoping one of these second place winners will publicly step down during the awards ceremony, quit their team and abdicate their medal to the third place winner so that " at least one person here can receive the medal they earned today "
So fucking wrong. Disgusting. I was a miler and half miler. The amount of training you have to do to be at or near the top is extreme and all consuming. To take that away from a young person, anyone, is criminal. I will not be surprised to learn that these fake lowlifes somehow get injured and can’t compete.
Not just the volume. It’s the interval work, the intensity. Running at near sprint speed to sheer collapse and exhaustion by oxygen debt and lactic acid buildup only to have to repeat it over and over in one given workout. Middle distance training is the most difficult - by far.
Bruce Jenner’s 1976 time in the 400 meters — as part of the 10-event decathlon — is still faster than the women’s individual world record for 400 meters specialists.
And don't get me wrong: there are women who are faster, stronger, smarter, tougher than me, and I'm an athletic male. But anyone who's done BJJ knows they can get their butt kicked by a more technically proficient woman. And there are women with 500+ lb deadlifts, great endurance athletes, etc.
Fact of the matter stands: in competition, a male will always have a huge advantage. It's not fair to women competitors.
It'd be interesting to see the communications between the decision makers at any of the institutions that let this absolute shit fly, and the mysterious drivers of it.
Threats and money must surely be at the core, because no healthy, logical and free human would allow such nonsense.
Yeah no one has really done much besides Riley Gaines . Would be nice if they just got together even if one or 2 to start and refused to do the awards or get the medal and Lay it down and walk off

That'd be pretty badass. If I were a patriot running a company, the first person who does that I'd try to offer a career path to them for standing up.

Yup, all that hard work. Running many miles every day for months and years, just to be beaten by a male, who god built differently.

Indeed
would that be like a Nancy Kerrigan?? Or Tanya Harding? not sure which one to call it?
An elite high school boy is faster than an Olympia gold medal winning, world record setting, woman.

Yeah, true.

Now that Bruce is no longer Bruce, methinks he should claim the women’s record, based on his time in 1976.

well said.
