  • Really? IOC is dragging IBA's name down? IBA may have done something wrong in their procedure but this should be an internal matter between two big orgs.

    Besides, the "gender-based-on-passport" policy of the IOC is flawed.

    • No Hachimura for the rest of the olympics

      Japan national team suffered a major blow ahead of a crucial game against Brazil, as the team's star, Rui Hachimura, left the camp.

        oh they do.. they prioritise the 3x3.. runner up last year with serbia 3x3 world cup. 3x3 team miami won some challengers and Masters tournament with the same core US team has right now., it’s unfortunate that the number 1 ranked player in the world got injured with a groin injury (fredette)

        USA womens won the world cup last year against france..

          Men fall to 0-2 after they lost to Serbia and Poland.

          Women; worse at 0-3 , as they lost to Germany, to the Aussies and gasp, to Azerbaijan! USA women are the defending champions, when they sent Kelsey Plum back in 2021, but she now plays in the traditional 5 a side.
          USA mens lost to latvia via a comeback from defending olympic champs 19-21.. unfortunate that fredette got injured

          meanwhile the womens side they won their first match vs Spain..

            Not saying that Yuki is better than our local guards but he performed at a bigger stage against arguably better competition.

            Wonder why some people always put down fellow asian players who get signed or even try out in the Gleague / summer league when it's already big news here when locals scrimmages or takes a selfie with an NBA players.

            They're basketball program is doing good. I hope we can emulate what they're doing right.

            yuki got signed prior to olympics.. so it means nba scouts are also watching b.league. as the saying goes “scouts are everywhere, if you’re good they’ll find you”

                • There's an interesting story about a German now officially named Heinrich Ratjen. She competed as a woman in the 1936 Olympics (the height of Hitler's reign) under the name Dora Ratjen. She eventually broke the world record in high jump.

                  Years later, he was deemed as a male, and he agreed to give up his medal/victory. Suspicions arose because of his appearance and his avoidance of showering with other athletes. But up to this day, there is much confusion about him/her who is most likely born intersexual. There's also a version of the story that states the Nazis made him compete as a her so that he can replace a German Jew on their track team.

                  This issue is nothing new and has happened many times before.

                    only difference is we have social media now which made things worse, a lot of hatred, fake news, gaslighting and mudslinging happening now.

                      For me, my stance against transgens to participate in women's division is not political. Rather, because such occurence will really ruin the essence of men's and women's competition. This is defying logic and science.

                          same position, plus the safety of the athletes. To be fair with Imane, she doesn't deserve all the hate she's getting. She's just became a unwilling pawn between warring ideologies.

                          • There is a distinction between cases like that of Nancy Navalta and the Algerian boxer which seems to be a case of biological anomalies that started since birth.

                            It is not the same as the case of Lia Thomas the American swimmer who was clearly born biologically as a male, competed as a male and then switched over to the women's side later in life. Allowing those type of cases will be the end of women's sports.

                                Yes, Imane getting the brunt of it is unfortunate. The polarized issue needed a face and the way the bout transpired...a very masculine looking female effortlessly beating a female who then cried...is very visually perfect.

                                In the Tokyo olympics, a man named Laurel Hubbard that used to compete as a man, competed as a female weightlifter. That should have been the moment for this type of pushback...but since he lost and the sport is solitary (no head-to-head visualization) people did not pay as much attention.
