Sir Mo

Not necessarily - that's one manifestation of an intersex condition. But possibly.

If she wasn't born a hermaphrodite then she is a woman though surely?

She has more testosterone due to a condition she was born with and I'm sure nobody has been able to prove whether it actually helps her as other with the same condition aren't as dominant I their fields.

Well done Mo!

f***ing brilliant lad

 

[Medulla]

Aye righto Brendan - he'll have to chuck some money the Tories' way first.

 

[Graieb]

Cram and Foster are absolutely brilliant on commentary for moments like this.

The British heptathlete Johnson Thompson would have won the high jump. She jumped 1.98m gold medal was won with 1.97m.

I was watching just now. Only 4 even made it to 1.97 and none were close at 2.0. Not a good show from the lasses.

Only coz everyone else failed lass who won had jumps left and may have gone higher

No, as I have said, she's intersex. Hermaphroditism is one example of an intersex condition, but there are quite a few others.

And I don't think anyone seriously doubts - given the pretty solid knowledge of the effects of steroids on performance - that, all things being equal, high testosterone levels improve track and field performance, like.

Nah she failed 2m 3 times as well
