Watching the Olympics? Post about it here.
A quick intro....

2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events

The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11

It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony.

The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron.

Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold.

There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday.

"I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement.

"I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is."

Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition.

This thread probably isn't the best place to get too far into that discussion. As I understand it, the confounding issue is that this is a gender abnormality rather than a "choice" (e.g., transgender). In other words, she's got biological lady parts despite having XY chromosomes (at least as far as I can figure out).

But I'm definitely not an expert here and agree that it seems like someone with extra testosterone has what seems like an unfair advantage.

I know it’s a difficult subject, but I think we can try to discuss it reasonably. Of course I’m probably wrong.

Yes, it’s possible this person was born with ambiguous genitalia. When working at the children’s hospital, in 12 years there were maybe 10 cases. And the parents have to make the decision to on a gender in a very short period of time. But if you have an excess of testosterone then tough decisions have to be made.

I’ll be “unreasonable” here.

It’s disgusting that thing was allowed to compete against women. Completely unfair to that poor woman who trained a large chunk of her life to face off against Spare Parts Patricia

You truly don’t understand? I hope this is a rhetorical statement.

Nothing at all unreasonable about your post. And I know this person completed in Tokyo. That shit was ridiculous.

I would say beating women is now an Olympic sport but I don't want the thread to get moved.

I don't particularly care to discuss this issue, but it does seem quite a bit more complicated than that.

The ability to bring up any event is well worth the month. There's still a week and a half left and it would be worth it for month imo

She's not a man. The Italian girl had terrible defense.

Yea, I was way off on that. KCC gave some good info above. I followed that up and found out she had a chromosomal anomaly.
