Transgender athletes are a joke in my book sure everyone has a right of choice I'm not denying them that but to complete in sport where your opponent doesn't have the same genetics is pretty much legalised ball tampering on both sides of the fence. The world is going crazy when it comes to this nonsense.
I'm undecided about transgenders in sport, many women are looking for equality, competition against the men, with transgenders competing aren't they getting what they asked for.
Just playing the devils advocate!

As someone living on the Gold Coast we've been unable to get away from it unlike many other Gold Coasters. This place has been a ghost town for the last 10 days, no traffic, businesses closed and cafes empty. Hotels down 30% and the Star Casino is hosting the local Radio station who are virtually pleading for people to come down and join them! The traffic leaving town on the Thursday before Easter was simply mind boggling and long term airport parking was booked out!
So much for Beatie and Tate's hype about the games benefits, most tourist based businesses appear to be suffering!
Transport, long delays for spectators and competitors delivered to the wrong venues because the organisers are too cheap to provide out of town coach drivers with GPS!
The much vaunted ticket lottery where everyone was guaranteed tickets... 'Pigs a**#e!!' we applied and got nothing, easier to watch on TV anyway.
The biggest plus for us has been the inclusion of the Para athletes, these guys and girls are truly amazing and deserved to be included, they are everything and more with the other athletes.
Loving the ghost town but looking forward to everything getting back to normal including Tate's everyday BS!

Hey Dihusky,
I go south every Thursday as part of of my job, but I told my clients that when the games start I am not coming down.
Unfortunately, I was needed last Thursday and made the effort.
Effort, mate it was the fastest trip that I had had in 10 years.
No congestion in the two tunnels, unbelievable, no stopping at Coomera or Southport exit or Nerang.
Got to my appointment 1/2 hour early.
I hope the games stay for another couple of years.
Not a single copper on the road either which I was surprised at.
When I entered the Pacific Hway I thought I was the only car on the road, alas there was 6 others :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If he/ she medals, he/she will be subject to a drug test. pass that and he/she will be the official winner.
Just watching the 90kg women weightlifting and the kiwi transgender lass is up and is lifting 10 to 15kg more than her nearest rival.
Must say I have seen prettier men!

No longer in the comp, tore an elbow in the snatch.
No sniggering, please.
Clean and jerk would have been interesting.
Don't think there was any doubt, healthy she would have romped it in.

Id kill to be able to run half as fast as that Aussie sprinter that just won the para 100metres!
He has cerebral palsy and the poor buggers legs gave out just as he crossed the line.. what an amazing run!

One of the swimmers last night, she had epilepsy, cerebral palsy and early onset Parkinsons and you could not keep the smile off her face.
Most of us live a charmed life and have no cause to complain.
More power to them all.

You have to hand it to those athletes, I have the greatest admiration for all of them. I just said to my wife that I couldn't swim across the pool never mind the length times whatever number f laps. Congratulations.

Not sure, but watching the transgender athlete during the lift thought she/he may have thrown in the towel on purpose. Give the female born competitors a chance maybe. Credit to the big Kiwi in the men's event. I don't think the Pakistani had it in him at the end.

Caught the end of the run but watched the repeats, didn't initially realise the back story until my wife filled in the gaps, truly remarkable. Think a few of the 'poor me' brigade need to watch and have a long hard think about themselves!!
