Not as much shame as the Americans should have felt when they watched the Canadians receive gold medals right in front of them. They'll never say it out loud, but they probably enjoyed that. Actually, on that note, gotta respect Abby Wambach for this: Edited August 6, 2021 by Brad Marchand 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When everyone else was starting to gas except for the first place guy, he stepped up another notch and went from 5th or 6th to 2nd. I found myself yelling at the TV cheering him on.. in my head. That was an amazing finish, he moved up 200 meters out, and reeled in the 5th, 4th, 3rd, and second place runners. Awesome run, and pb. Also don't forget his prodigy Knight, I believe he came 7th in the final too. Don't know if it's been posted, but, two Canadian women finished top 15 in the Marathon too. Canadian track has a plan, it might take a few more Olympics but, they have it going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some people expressing some doubt about transgender people competing in sports and in particular at the Olympics. Well I believe that all of Canada should be proud of Quinn who became the first transgender and non binary athlete to win an Olympic medal and it was golden ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 I really love that local race walker, Evan Dunfee, fuels with a gel called Endurance Tap which is literally maple syrup (sea salt and a ginger blend)! How Canadian! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although there's a difference between Quinn and some of the other transgender athletes out there. Quinn was born female and probably is more accurately described as non-binary.... Still, as you say, it's a big step. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s still a female body competing against other females. It’s boys who compete against girls that’s not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how she sees herself, the point is in sports she’s competing against females. She is a biological female and has no unfair advantage. If she sees herself as neither boy nor girl, that’s a personal thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shouldn't have to hide who they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
