he hasnt got a sore shoulder, it's his excuse for not winning.
He will complain about mental health issues if he loses the US open
Hater much?
His doubles partner wouldnt accept him pulling out without a serious issue, might be the highlight of her career and Djokovic would finally want to medal as well

After all the uproar about the NZ transgender athlete in the Womens 87kg+ Weightlifting, Laurel Hubbard exited with 3 failed attempts at a snatch, the only one in the group who didn't have a registered snatch.

He's beyond a joke, as are the authorities that thought it would be a good idea to penalise all of the real female athletes.

There's a good Joe Rogan podcast (back when he was listenable, he's all conspiracy and whatifabouttery lately) where he calls out an MMA fighter that's transgender (Fallon Fox) about being literally a guy fighting women. I'm not interested in the where or whutabouts if trans people have a todger or grapes but he was making some good points; if a man has his testosterone explosion in teenage years, and bulks up on muscle and bone density in accordance with that - he should not be fighting as an "equal" female, as he has the added advantage of the increased muscle and bone mass, giving bigger kicks and take bigger kicks.

There's currently very few events in the Olympics that gender doesn't matter in; Shooting, Eventing/Showjumping/Dressage, Sailing.
Give it a while and there'll be Barry and Larry transferring to female so they can run in the womens 200m or womens long jump, and try get a medal by the time Paris 2024 comes around. :roll:

Looking forward to seeing how the Namibian girl gets on in the 200m, she had serious speed on the straight even though she had poor starts in both heats. Don't think she'll win the race but good chance of a bronze.

The 2 Namibian girls in the final were originally 400m runners but are not allowed race above 200m because of high levels of testosterone (which I think is a load of bo##ocks, or maybe too much bo##ocks!) I thinks its very unfair that they had to drop down to a new event through no fault of their own.

Cant call someone a cheater just for exceptional performance even if its naive to assume otherwise.
Track definitely must be fast but maybe there is a new drug around, not tested for or on the doping list yet?

My insomnia has just gifted me the skateboarding. What joy in what you do! What lack of nastiness! Truly Olympian, be the best you can be and encourage and support your competitors to be better by being brilliant.But not knock them down with words. Fabulous!
