…:laugh:…I liked the impersonation…(…even though The Sopranos isn’t a series I’ve seen so I don’t know how accurate to the characters…)…it’s still easy to get the vein of it, though…

…just being more serious, though…in general…(..because online there has also for real sometimes been that vein of criticism of Angelina in support of Imane…and I hate that ‘team one’ or ‘team another’, type thing, I’m sure that Italy are as proud of Angelina as Algeria are of Imane…

It's a great show, you should definitely watch it.

The whole situation is unfortunate, but the way Angelina created this story was appalling petulance. She embarrassed herself, and threw that embarrassment on to her opponent. It's right that she has been criticised, but that's all she received - a bit of criticism. Imane had her life turned upside down. Now that Angelina has apologised, that should be the end of the whole sorry situation and all parties can move on.

Agreed

The Sopranos is in many people’s top ten Tv series of all time

Bollox


A supposedly mediocre, limited boxer completely dominated last year’s WORLD CHAMPION to win Algeria’s first ever Olympic medal



Thats the equivalent of Jake Paul beating Dmitry Bivol

Female Olympic Boxer Hit by "Man" Gets a Broken Nose
 
I don’t understand how she always looks taller , broader and more muscular if they are all in the same weight class - unless she’s a weight bully

Nothing says female to me at all certainly not her stance nor gait or face https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9248ac6f2b.jpg

Weight bullies explanations below

The fact that a fighter can rehydrate and gain a large weight advantage prior to the fight is an intrinsic pitfall in the "day before" weigh-in system. As long as the loophole exists, guys will take advantage of it. The only way to avoid it is mandatory "day of fight" weigh-ins with an allotted amount of weight a fighter is allowed to put back on, or we go back to same day weigh-ins, which posed enough of a dehydration risk that they were done away with in the first place. "Day before" weigh-ins are perceived to be the lesser of two evils really.

"Weight bullies" are really just guys who are taking advantage of the weigh-in system's deficiency. They are, however, participating in a sport where every possible advantage is extremely valuable, as long as it can be legally obtained. While we as fans want to see these guys compete on an even playing field, in boxing that is definitely not always the case, or even a viable option.

Must be so proud to punch so many women in the face. The gold should be given to the poor Italian princess who got smashed up.

Cherie 09-08-2024 10:18 PM

Meh, mostly men who normally don't support women, celebrating this achievement....no thanks

Skinny legs (by under-training) + lower body fat percentage achievable with higher testosterone. Females generally can't retain muscle without retaining body fat, men can.

[edit] Not that I'm calling her a man :umm2: but it is a result of the high T and apparent male puberty.

Livia 09-08-2024 10:58 PM

Watch the women's sports and records fall to biological men. This is just the start.

Which should disqualify them from the female category

How can you proudly claim gold.

I mean it would be like me going up against a bunch of paraplegics in the 100 metres and then celebrating my win.

Then there would be no point in women’s sport at all

Changed the title because I’m not sure if she did actually get a broken nose. That what she was claiming to her coach in the heat of the moment .

I know she said she’d never been hit that hard in her life and feared for her safety ( she actually trains against guys sometimes- to put her opponent’s power into perspective
