Title: Trans Weightlifter Fails at Olympics
Post by: 6 Reps on August 02, 2021, 11:57:09 AM
Laurel Hubbard, the New Zealand weightlifter and first transgender woman to compete in an Olympic Games, found history backlit in heartbreak. In Monday’s 87+Kg women’s weightlifting competition at Tokyo International Forum, Hubbard failed to record a successful lift in the snatch, which eliminated her from the event.

In her first attempt she failed to get 120 kilograms overhead in an unsteady try where she seemed to lose her footing. The second attempt, this time at 125 kilograms looked solid. She had a momentary struggle, similar to the first lift, but recovered to get the bar overhead and steady. She dropped the weight thinking that she had made a good lift, but a majority of judges ruled it as a failed lift.

Her final attempt was the heartbreaker. Needing a successful lift to stay in the competition, she again struggled to align to raise the bar. Hubbard was the only competitor in the final group who failed to finish the event.

Hubbard’s first try at 125kg looked good after failing an opening lift at 120kg, but the majority of judges ruled otherwise.

Hubbard made a “thank you” gesture to the crowd followed by a disappointed but graceful exit.

He's been trying at a snatch for years now.

The cynical part of me wonders if she/her is taking one for the team. All the fuss about her getting to compete, she intentionally under-performs and gives credence to the belief that male to female transitioners have no physical advantage. End result: more male to female competitors in women's sport

Good

But the damage is already done by this cheat.  Remember, he's already smashed all the Women's Records in NZ

And this 43 year old 130kg bloke denied an Olympic place to 80kg 18year old Roviel Detenamo... 😡

The science/stats proving this is cheating is explained very well here

I don't think so. I've followed this dude for a couple of years now, he's aggressive and cocky. But he also isn't a good male lifter, and he's still a mediocre lifter as a top woman's lifter (most put her at probably in 3-5th place, before today). The top 3 women in that class are beasts, and he just can't compete.

Totally agree. I was actually hoping this guy would dominate and end this nonsense.

I also think this was planned so as to make it look like women can compete with men with tits.  FTN.

He's been trying to get anywhere in Olympic Lifting since the late 90's. Realistically this was his last hurrah.

I think it was done intentionally to dampen the “uneven playing field” argument and advance males in female sports.

I was also wanting to see the left get crushed with hypocrisy as is so often done when a transgender competes against female.

I was watching this and a fat dude came up and nailed the lift. Then the commentator called the dude Sarah and I realized it was women’s lifting.   Then after her the TS from NZ came up and failed.  These are some ugly ducking women. None look like women.

That would make a proper WYHI (in order) thread
