She could have won first game.She is looking gassed but giving it all.

 

Meanwhile Marin who won in Rio is making a comback in second.

Sindhu has declined in last two years. Lot of injuries, operations didn't help.

If she had power game, she would have dominated the world game , as she has everything else. Her reach is her biggest asset.

Looking like she has given up.

Issue is IOC doesnt recognise the current Boxing federation, so these issues will come up. They run their own testosterone tests(Not chromosome) and these athletes probably cleared them? 

 

 

 

 

Her issue was never testosterone, it was chromosome and by birth. She should be allowed to compete in women's event being a biological woman.  

And she's from Algeria where trans surgeries are banned.

Everything aside I am liking the referee. Soft spoken and always wearing a lovely smile.

Does that person look like a girl from any angle? In IBA testing, this person was found to have xy chromosome. So can't be called a woman.

What is this transgender controversy? Biological male seemed to have defeated a female boxer in 45 seconds. Apparently this guy was banned in India.

Sindhu is done- she has two Olympic medals for her career thats her limitation. She should stop coming to the next Games in LA and give another girl a chance- if we have any that is

Because you said anti-woke are bigoted against LGBT (your words) 

 

Yes, there is a huge hatred against trans people including calling for violence against them and spreading like like they are attacking women in washroom. It's spread by the anti woke crowd.

The actor in your pfp also doesn't looks like a girl from any angle now but she is a biological girl

She will retire before that. She has had a spate of injuries, hardly active since 2023. Operations in shoulder, knee, foot including to treat stress fracture in ankle.

 

Knee injury was the killer, it finishes careers faster than any other part...it is what sealed Federer's fate. She looked really slow today. 

[Gollum]

Never expected medal from Sindhu. Rankireddy-Shetty OTOH, for me they were contenders for gold

These are tricky topics and tbh Iam not qualified enough to judge. Allegedly she was born a woman(organs etc) but has the male chromosomes(from the test) How did they decide to test her on that without a definite testosterone test to say otherwise? It all seems a botched job from the associations, IOC and Boxing

 

Boxing has limitations with wrt weight to allow 'fair' fights, it definitely is unfair on the Italian athlete if she felt Khelif was unnaturally strong

Don't follow that closely. Someone will emerge, I trust Gopichand, Vimal Kumar, Prakash Padukone.

If you noticed, the coaching chairs are empty, for HS Prannoy vs Lakshya Sen. HSP usually has Guru Gopi, and Gurusaidutt. Lakshya usually has Vimal Kumar, Prakash Padukone. Up against each other, they opt to go without coaches.https://t.co/9GeEB727TU pic.twitter.com/KxCoqZ3tDw
