In the Uk for example... It’s apparently DOUBLING every FIVE DAYS according to a doctor just speaking on the radio ...

Those figures are very concerning to some of us

new zealander Laurel Hubbard to become first transgender athlete to compete at games



Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard to compete for New Zealand in the super-heavyweight category at Tokyo Olympics; she will become first transgender athlete to compete at the Games; "I am grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me," Hubbard said

Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard will become the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics after being selected by New Zealand for the women's event at the Tokyo Games.

Hubbard will compete in the super-heavyweight category, her selection made possible by updated qualifying requirements.

The 43-year-old, who will be the oldest lifter at the Games, had competed in men's weightlifting competitions - although not at international level - before transitioning nearly 10 years ago.

When she competed as a man she lifted 185 kilos

the bench mark for top female weightlifters is 87 kilos

No more than 10,000 spectators allowed at venues.

Tokyo 2020: Up to 10,000 Japanese fans will be permitted at Olympic venues
3 minutes ago.

Breaking news
Up to 10,000 Japanese fans will be permitted at venues at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Fans from overseas had already been banned from the Games but it has been confirmed that spectators from Japan will be allowed.

Capacity will be set at 10,000 spectators, provided it does not exceed 50% of a venue's capacity.

The Olympics are scheduled to begin on 23 July, while the Paralympics follow a month later, from 24 August.
