    I will be opening a thread on Kirsty Coventry soon. There is much to discuss.

    Exactly my thought when I saw this!

    Best Winter Games ever? Yes, for me. Without doubt. I always enjoy a games more when I share the same timezone. I prefer the Summer edition, but these games have been engaging and visually excellent. Italy is a safe pair of hands. Let's hope for an Italian Summer edition soon.

    Savage... et plutôt juste!

    BBC - WADA Responds to penis injection claims. Injecting Junior with hyaluronic acid.... All eyes will be on this event come Monday. Probably for the wrong reasons. 😇

    Could the usual suspects* please ensure there is a 'hot guys thread' started by Friday. Please and ty. *98% of the posters here.

    quite. This is what entrenched 'elite power'* looks like in practice - powerful men insulated by other powerful men, with moral failure waved away as an open secret rather than confronted. *dare I say, patriarchy.

    At this point, the bigger challenge might be finding a replacement* who doesn't trigger an awkward google search. *assuming he is replaced.

    Dreadful scenes coming out of Los Angeles. Time for the IOC to rethink this entire candidacy. Paid agitators are causing this and it seems to me local authorities unable to control the situation. Calling in the national guard against the hard left was reasonable, but ultimately calls into questions LA’s candidacy. Can Europeans reasonably expect to be safe in this lawless city. Hoping the IOC coordinating with the White House. Gavin Newsom is out of control, and it’s a worry this is the custodian of the Olympic flame. IOC, time to take action. Now!

    Coventry highlighting inconsistencies is correct - I’ve always thought this. Banning Russia when other countries also have dubious human rights records and issues always felt a little odd to me. tho in saying that, I agree Russia should have been banned.. along with a few others. If Russia are brought back in from the cold, there has to be certain stipulations. At least, you’d hope!

    9 years to go... hopefully, time to undo a true and real injustice.

    Your 'lived experience' as a self-proclaimed literary genius doesn't trump her citizenship. And frankly, your need to police who gets to call themselves African reeks of the same colonial mindset you claim to despise. Go figure!

    The decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia is a moral stain on the sport. Beyond the blatant disregard for human rights, it's a direct endorsement of a system built on the exploitation and death of migrant workers. These stadiums, are being erected on the graves of those who were denied basic dignity. To cheer in 2034 will be to dance on those graves. It's not just a sporting event; it's a monument to systemic abuse. For shame, FIFA.

    Why am I left in a position to defend Kirsty Coventry? Sad times... Her citizenship and lived experience are African. Questioning her right to that identity, especially in the context of her achievements, reeks of a racism that seeks to define 'African' by a narrow, exclusionary standard. It's not about her ancestry; it's about denying her a belonging that is rightfully hers. That denial is racism.
