You said they can just move out of the athletes village right?
A Brazilian just got sent home for “leaving the village”

I think they should stop the village for future games. What other tournaments make villages? Not Fifa world cup….

There's a lot more to this than some FB bs. Check the history but don't check it on a pro-left, pro trans, pro DEI places like BBC or rubbish.

Fools like you will believe anything if it props up your ignorant and fearful world view.

Ishida: rather than a discussion on win/lose, now it a consideration of how to play the match.

The pain began during the Pyong match on Aug 1. Hayata played the SYS match heavily taped/bandaged, with pain medication. “Hina was not in a condition to play”.

Hayata : I was not able to play at 100%, to those who supported me and helped me become strong, I’m truly sorry. (Forfeiture) of course I’ve considered it, but this only happens every 4 yrs, so I’ll continue. (For the bronze) I’ll rest up as much as I can today, although I don’t know what kind of level I can play at tomorrow, but I’ll press on without regret.

Feel so bad for Hayata with all the hard work she's put in. Just have to hope for the best.

Semi-related. KOR is taking medal chances away from JPN in both table tennis and badminton.

just look at how many people are bandage up
how many are playing with pain

Hmm thinking about it, if JNT is bold and really had to replace Hayata with Kihara... that might also work? Considering Kihara/Harimoto is a better pairing than the deadlocked Hirano/Harimoto but that means Hirano needs to display her QF G4-6 form as first singles throughout. Or will Hayata be willing to play doubles with either one of her shimais...?

Thought about this scenario in late 2023. JPN got the draw in its favor with KOR in the top half, but FRA (if they get past THA) could be problematic now. Will come down to Hayata's decision.

In terms of stats, Hirano, Kihara and Harimoto is actually the best but risky lineup if Japan wants to beat China, with the latter two having no prior experience, whereas Hirano was the reserve at Rio 2016 and Hayata at Tokyo 2020. Kihara/Harimoto for the doubles, Hirano for the first singles, and Harimoto for the second singles. This lineup can't afford to have Hirano go offline and is potentially vulnerable against South Korea so requires the draw to work in their favor.

In reality, Hayata, Hirano and Kihara/Harimoto (3rd member/reserve) is likely what JTTA has in mind. Having Hayata and Hirano would reduce the doubles strength and flexibility but would be more assuring before the final. Unless Harimoto overtakes Kihara in standings, JTTA may be forced to play by the book and pick the latter, at which point winning gold is pretty much out of the question. At the end of the day, Hirano, Kihara and Harimoto are affiliated with Kinoshita Group, so they are the biggest winner regardless.

Good to see TTD tolerates hateful shitheads like you two.

Why don't you chill out man.
I'm about fair play, that's it.
If they're women they're women but as I said ( and all I said) is there's more to the story than was mentioned above.
I'm not going into it because that will achieve nothing against the likes of you and JediJesseS who hatefully overreact at the slightest hint of somebody 'disagreeing' with you.
You've obviously made so many assumptions based on 'theres more to the story's. Funny how people like you who preach tolerance are usually THE MOST INTOLERANT PEOPLE in the world.

I've checked the receipts. They all point to this being fake drummed up outrage for political purposes. I follow boxing and combat sports closely and have for decades. I'm acutely aware about PED issues since I'm forced to analyse it for professional purposes.

The woman has a 37-9 record at the amateur level. This is an average record and nothing noteworthy.

There's been no released results of any tests suggesting anything other than what's easily searchable and available publicly. The boxer was born a woman and there's pictures from her childhood looking like an ordinary girl. She was born in a country where it's illegal to be LGBT and you can be arrested for it. There is no transitional treatment for trans people in Algeria.

The only "evidence" of her having any hormonal or biological advantage except for a supposed test done by the IBA, an organization now banned due to its corrupt ties to Russia. There were no questions or concerns about this woman until she beat a Russian boxer a few years back. After that, the IBA claimed that she had failed a gender test without providing the receipts at all. The result was rumblings and rumors and outrage. This was pretty clearly untrustworthy info spread by an organization nobody in the boxing world trusts. The IBA issued a statement in the wake of all of this saying that the results were confidential and they refused to elaborate.

Now we got an army of useful idiots over the world spreading this fake news and furthering obvious political propaganda.

If your feed is full of outrage on this, then perhaps you are being groomed to be the useful idiot. By the way you uncritically have accepted the narrative and then handwave away any other explanation as having to come from "pro-left, pro trans" sources shows you've already got your mind made up.

My feed is not full of anything on this. There are different standards of testing across the 3 bodies mentioned. That's the story. And yes it being exaggerated by different parties for different reasons but don't call me an idiot. I haven't uncritically accepted anything or handwaved away anything so maybe check who you're talking to cos it must be someone else who did that. Now who's the idiot?
You come across as an absolute know it all and your take is just your take.
So I say again to anyone, there's more to it that the original/initial story and better to check from a trustworthy source, not a source that is pro one or the other.
Now I'm finished talking about boxing in here.

Fan is far from guaranteed a win today; if I remember correctly, despite losing 0-4 in the WTTC, Truls had game points in at least 2 games, and he always had the lead.

It's the same problem he had against WCQ, being unable to win the crucial points. And he finally got over that hurdle.

No FZD vs Truls today, only the ladies.

I don't have any stake in IBA or World Boxing but they're simply pursuing their own self interest. Calling IBA corrupt because they're associated with Gazprom is funny, when you take a look at what the "good" boxing organizations are associated with. In the end, it's all down to geopolitics. If you're liberal, of course you believe the liberals. If you're anti-liberal, you believe the conspiracy theorists. They're both full of bullcrap when you critically examine them.

Okay, sorry if I said you were an idiot. 'Useful idiot' is a specific term reserved for people in the West spreading authoritarian propaganda.

I have friend and family members who are useful idiots in this regard, even though they are actually otherwise capable and normal people.

If you want to go ahead and share what your trustworthy sources are with me in private feel free to do so. I agree this isn't the place to talk about boxing and will respect your suggestion not to continue this issue any more.

Again, apologies for the hostile tone. It was more me being fed up with misinformation than anything personal.

 

[Tembel]

I am sure FZD will be practicing receiving sidespin chop blocks during training sessions today. Will be interesting to see if he will have less trouble with them tomorrow than in previous encounters.

Hayata why you so serious?

 

[turbozed]

Hayata is way off with her shots today. Clearly the arm is bothering her.
