Depends on how you define "hot," and "women." Because these days both are up for debate.

Did they apologize for the viewers' ignorance?

After a moment to contemplate, "undisclosed gender tests" probably remain undisclosed because it would be a dick move to broadcast a person's medical test results. So they have to keep it ambiguous, tell the athlete privately, but tell them to FO.

Even if the person is born with a vag, at some point they learned something was atypical and it's always going to be a dick move (ha) to say, "You know, I bet I could use this to my advantage and beat the ever loving fuck out of some women. I bet there will even be endorsement money."

"The customer is always right." To be fair to the viewers though, it might have indeed mocked The Last Supper and the people who put it together could say anything to try and get rid of the anger.

I didn't watch it so I have no idea what it was about. I just knew peeps were mad, but when aren't they?

There was only 1 of the women that I thought, "nah". The picture of the second woman made me audibly say "Holy shit".

Athletic women really are my type. Just watched some women running the 800m and damn many of them were hot. Those abs. ugh.

Khelif and Lin Yu‑ting of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) were disqualified from the 2023 women’s world champion­ships with the International Boxing Association president, Umar Kremlev, saying DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded”. Lin is due to face Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova in a featherweight bout in Paris on Friday.
So what in the hell is their criteria, that bullshit "low levels of T for 12 months?"

The russian propaganda controversy regarding trans boxing may be a big distraction away from the televised women beating competition.

The other XY boxer also beat the hell out of their opponent.

On Friday, Lin emerged victorious in her preliminary-round fight against Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova, winning 5-0 by unanimous decision but without much fanfare in the crowd.

If it's Swyer Syndrome, XY peeps born with a vagina and appear female until puberty, then it is 1:80000.

Which means China has access to 16,000 of them?

If the IOC is allowing it, then in another Olympic cycle or two their entire female team will be thus.

Including their beach volleyball players.

Every athlete who plays for a US college should count as a US athlete, and we get their medals. You want to represent your country? Stay home.

And.... they.... win. But judging by the dearth of headlines compared to the first couple days, it seems the media would like this whole thing to be forgotten.

I was hoping the 2 controversial peeps would end up boxing each other after they beat the hell out of all the women.

Ok.... near as I can tell...... we are ignoring the XY chromosomes, and claiming that genitals determine sex (which for the last 5 years we were told is absolutely not true), and because there is a vagina, and "assigned female at birth," then the entire controversy is right-wing sexism and trans-phobia (but she isb't trans! assigned female at birth!) because all of this is just a case of "slightly high T levels." I've seen "the woman who got beat up apologized" posts on FB. A lot.

Sometimes it is difficult for me to look at the world and not be convinced it has gone absolutely insane. And I don't know what to do about it. And I feel bad my kid has to come up in this world.

Here is the official IOC response:

https://sports.yahoo.com/paris-olympics ... 19413.html

TLDR: they say the tests should never have been done, the group that did the tests was wack. They never state "athlete does not have XY chromosomes," and whatever is on the passport is the gender the athlete is.

The IOC remains highly corrupt and incompetent, as they have always been.

This isn't a case of "slightly high T."

The reigning world champion dipped at the line in 9.784 to pip Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson (9.789) to the gold medal by just five-thousandths of a second, as the USA’s Fred Kerley claimed bronze in 9.81.

"I went up to Kishane and I was like, 'I'm gonna be honest, I think you had that one'," a beaming Lyles told Eurosport after the race. "I was fully prepared to see his name pop up. and to see my name pop, I'm like, 'goodness gracious, I'm incredible'."
I watched this race live. I thought the Jamaican won. My wife thought the Jamaican won. The announcers thought the Jamaican won.

It was crazy to see Lyles win by so little

They were reputable enough for the IOC until this very second, which says something. Although, boxing being the most corrupt sport out there says something too.

Did you see the pole vaulter whose dick knocked the bar down? Dude didn't even need to medal and he won.
