    • USA women's basketball team beats Spain, 101-72. Six consecutive gold medals. Breanna Stewart played the least amount minutes for USA, but she has a chance to be the G.O.A.T. She's like a combination of Dirk on offense and Anthony Davis on defense.

        Vlašić will probably retire after winning a medal today.
        I'm sure she hoped she could maybe win a gold but she is having extremely big problems with achilles tendon injury.
        but you are right, women high jump is so far from it's best days.
        in Beijing she jumped 205 and only got a silver.
        I think in this whole season only two athletes jumped over 2 m.
        Lowe who did not win a medal here was one of those two.

          Beitia is 37 years old, and 1 month ago she won the european championship in Amsterdam. Amazing!!!

          Serbia vs China at women voleyball is being a great match.

              • This is a travesty:

                Controversial Women's 800 Metres

                Chromosome testing to ensure that all athletes competing in Women's events were XX was conducted by the IOC between 1968 and 1996. Such testing was undertaken because of concerns that some countries would resort to cheating of any kind to fatten their medal totals. Chromosone testing was discontinued after 1996 in response to criticism that it was "socially insensitive and humiliating" to competitors that failed the test.

                The IOC instead implemented a rule in time for the 2012 Olympics which disqualified athletes from female events if they had testosterone levels above 10 nanomoles per liter. The median testosterone level for women track and field athletes was found to be 0.69 nmol/L and the 99th percentile level was 3.08. The normal male Olympic athlete's testosterone range is in the twenties although it can get as high as 38. The 10 level was actually criticized therefore as it set a target at which women steroid abusers could aim in their efforts to cheat.

                But in response to a legal challenge in 2015 the IAAF had to abandon its testosterone testing of competitors in Women's events. The current standard is therefore whoever wants to compete in Women's events can.

                Canada's Melissa Bishop set a new Canadian record but finished fourth in the 800 metres behind Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui. Concerns were previously raised about all three of the athletes who finished ahead of Melissa Bishop but the IAAF never disclosed their test results for privacy reasons.





                Would Melissa have won the Gold had the IOC a strict gender policy for Women's events? I think so.

                And what's the point of having Women's events in the first place if there are no strict gender testing requirements? If there's to be discrimination on the basis of sex, why then is there no actual discrimination on the basis of sex? What we have now is special status for women - sort of. It's political correctness run amuck is what it is.
