You can't see her feet on that video. There was a slight stumble. She wasn't pushed. It appears to me she momentarily lost concentration and made contact with the rail. If she had actually stepped over the rail and back it seems to me there would have been more of a break of stride. She did not gain an advantage and should be reinstated.
Satire warning, not directed at anyone.
We should have another Olympics , like Para, call it the Intersex Olympics, or another division in main OG.
They can then sub categorise, the commentator could for example say "And now we have the 800m in the undescended testes division. Hey Jim, who do you think will have the balls to take it out fast"?
Or , we have the shot put in the prominent adams apple division etc

BTW, being a (XY) man born without an external penis doesn't make you a woman in any way, shape or form. Just a regular guy without a dick.
That's cute but I'm pretty sure she would have a better idea how to identify herself than you.
There is only one definition of XY. It’s called make. Anything else is made up fluff. It’s called genetics. Not open to argument.

Serious question , how did you get a media pass? Do they require CV, some examples of journalism etc?
We've been covering the sport for 20 years. The other journalists at these events come up to us to ask us questions as they know we cover track full time.
Can you name another website that writes thousand of word previews for every DL, for the women's 5000, etc?
I don't remember how we get one the first time.

That hasn't happened. I received an email from World Athletics this morning that said this, "The appeal was dismissed after the jury looked at the video."
Does someone and take the qualifying spot? If so then who?

It was a rhetorical question. I haven't seen journalism here, especially the stuff you come up with rojo, and I do not come here for T&F news etc, only the forum. Others may, but I don't gain anything from it.
Don't you have to get a pass specific to event anyway, or is there soem sort of 'journalist credential'...serious, because this could be a nice way in to events ;-)

Thought the placings were immediately adjusted last night.
This seems to suggest no contact was observed causing the mis-step leading to DQ.

The question is whether the DQ would have been enforced for such a minor infraction in which she did not gain a material advantage if she wasn't a DSD athlete? Discrimination?

Yep, exactly this.
She is literally the first person to ever be disqualified for stepping inside the line.....
....oh wait.

Yes, there is serious discrimination against pretty white former models, that is why Colleen Quigley was DQ'ed in London. All rules are always enforced equally.
https://ibb.co/YWw5q7P"Niyonsaba, who is from Burundi, then unexpectedly finished among the leaders in her 5,000 heat at the Olympic Stadium on Friday night. She was celebrating a place in the final in a media area at the stadium only to realize she'd been disqualified for stepping across lane markings at the start of the race. . . . Niyonsaba felt the decision was unfair. The lane infringement in the bustle at the start of the race wasn't her fault, she said. She appealed but lost."

Abebe 3rd in last heat of steeplechase stepped inside and wasn't DQd.

At what point of the race was it? Just want to go back to watch it.
No she didn't.

Surely though you haven’t banned people for expressing an opinion that someone who is XY should not be competing in any women’s events?
Moran of the day goes to you since you can’t tell the difference between those two scenarios.
Actually it goes to you for not understanding the point of my question - which was actually to show that exact difference. Do I need to make it easier for you to comprehend next time?

Of course not. But to call her disgusting and a cheat is wrong. We need to be respectful of others.
How would you feel if you were born without a penis but then told you weren't a woman?
It would be very difficult as most people aren't wondering, am I intersex.
Noted, but I haven’t said any of this.
She is obviously a he
