Nasty.
Reality of her lifting with the women is that she was in her own competition anyway - her first lift was 7kg more than the best lift of the next best competitor.
How do you deal with all this if you're a sports administrator?
I reckon you allow transgender athletes and blade-runners etc to compete with the other athletes, but you have extra medals. e.g. If Laurel wins overall then she gets a gold, but so does the first natural born woman. If she comes second she gets a silver, but so does the person who comes third. If she comes fourth she gets nothing - like everyone else.

Just looked at the results. Wouldnt zhe have won based on that one lift? Or do you physically have to make every attempt? Obviously I have no idea, but zhe had the best snatch (chortle snort) by miles and was second in the clean and jerk.

@rancid-schnitzel I wasn't watching, but wasn't it her third attempt in the Snatch? That is what stuff is reporting.

This might as well be Chinese to me, but based on the official website zhe got 120 for he he snatch after failing her 2nd and 3rd attempts and then got130 for her only clean and jerk attempt. Considering they only take the best result I'm not sure why zhe had to drop out.

If that's the case then she's got two counting lifts and someone needs to go at least 137 in the C&J or she'll collect the gold.

Well if she can still do a clean jerk she should be asking for a refund.

Nope , its only a matter of time till someone gets badly hurt by a tranny in a contact sport. My guess is wrestling or mma.

@jegga makes you wonder if she'd have been a boxer if the Olympic and Commonwealth committees woulda still let her compete.

I wouldn't consider myself a huge netball fan either. But I do like to see all NZ sports doing well. The problem is that netball is shooting itself in the foot as it fights for relevancy in womens sport in NZ. Losing twice in 3 days to Jamaica equalled the total losses in history between the two nations. England is now beating NZ regularly, which never happened before, and the gulf between NZ and Aust continues to grow since they went their separate ways.
Netball is meant to be the premier womens sport in NZ but they would be foolish to take that position for granted. Forgetting about the rise in popularity in womens rugby, if a young girl is given a choice between netball and basketball they would be stupid to choose the former. Basketball is a worldwide game and would offer them an education in the US via a scholarship and opportunities over the world if good enough. There is a long list of girls doing just that.
@bovidae Agree, and pro women's rugby, even at the current pay, will destroy our national netball team if they aren't careful, as rugby will be more attractive.
The origin of netball doesn't help either in modern society - netball was invented to be a non-contact, less athletic form of basketball that was suitable for women. Doesn't really play like that any more, but it's a rather limiting factor compared to basketball.
