A delicate issue that Im sure media outlets and folks will handle with “subtlety”.

She was assigned female at birth while being born in a Muslim country with abysmal LGBTQ rights. She was raised as a female, has a vagina, a uterus, and fallopian tubes. She has competed against women her entire career without controversy until last year and been defeated by female opponents. The same IOC that determined Lia Thomas couldn’t compete with women has determined this woman is okay to do so. Her opponent here didn’t protest her. Kindly fuck off into another persona far away from here. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like thats some strange shit. Aaaaaand it's gone! Google pulls AI ad for Olympics following backlash WWW.CNBC.COM Google was criticized for using artificial intelligence to write a fan letter to an Olympic athlete. Quote Google has pulled an Olympics ad for its chatbot Gemini from airwaves following backlash for the way it depicts a little girl using artificial intelligence to write a fan letter. The ad, titled “Dear Sydney,” showed a girl’s dad prompting the AI chatbot to help write a letter to her favorite athlete, U.S. hurdler and sprinter Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Google launched Gemini, formerly known as Bard, last year following the surge in popularity of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “Gemini, help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is,” the father said in the ad, prompting Gemini. The commercial then briefly shows the draft Gemini produced and closes with footage of the little girl running on the track with a text overlay that says, “A little help from Gemini.” The ad is still viewable on YouTube but has been taken off the airwaves, where it was repeatedly shown in the first week of the Games. A Google spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC that, “While the ad tested well before airing, given the feedback, we have decided to phase the ad out of our Olympics rotation.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Katie Ledecky wins 9th gold medal, most by American female Olympian in history WWW.NBCNEWS.COM She won the 800-meter freestyle final Saturday, successfully defending her title for the third time. Quote Katie Ledecky cannot be stopped. Ledecky won her ninth gold and 14th overall medal Saturday, taking the 800-meter freestyle and concluding her fourth Olympic Games in style. She became the most decorated female Olympic swimmer of all time Thursday when she won silver as part of the U.S. 4x200 freestyle relay team for her 13th career medal. But that wasn’t enough for Ledecky, who defended her three-time title in the 800 free. Her nine gold medals is the most ever for a female swimmer and the most for an American female athlete across all sports. It ties her with Larisa Latynina, a Soviet gymnast who won nine golds in the 1950s and 1960s, of any woman in Olympic history. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblfilms Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 America has been fortunate to have some all-timer athletes in this generation of Olympians, like Biles, Ledecky, and Phelps. Probably have to go back to the 80s to have a group as dominant as them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Noah Lyles Wins The 100-Meter Gold By A Skin Cell | Defector DEFECTOR.COM You'll require multiple viewings of the men's 100-meter final to figure out how the hell Noah Lyles came in first place. Quote You'll require multiple viewings of the men's 100-meter final to figure out how the hell Noah Lyles came in first place. It wasn't obvious in real time, and the American sprinter later said that he thought Jamaica's Kishane Thompson had won the race. But after reviewing the tape, a winning margin of five-thousandths of a second gave Lyles his first Olympic gold medal, making him the first American to win the event since Justin Gatlin in 2004. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
