Even after being on the receiving end of abuse on social media, Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, won silver at the IWF World Weightlifting Championships.
According to New Zealand news website Stuff.co.nz, Hubbard, 39, became the first New Zealander to medal at the world championships in the event’s history, which dates back to 1891, when she finished second behind American Sarah Robles in the super-heavyweights division Tuesday in Anaheim, California. Hubbard lifted a total of 606 pounds while Robles, the first American to win a worlds title since 1994, lifted 626 pounds.

I lost all interest in the Olympics years ago, too.
Ah, but your dimes do go to the Olympics. Many companies contribute and they take tax cuts... off their customers’ dimes. All those boxes of Wheaties and yogurt, etc. Remember when the US Post Office made such a big deal out of “their” (our) contributions? Don’t know if they still donate but they probably do.
Can’t stand PetSmart’s commercial saying they’ll give a meal to a dog after you purchase their product. Excuse me, it’s the customer who is really giving a dog a meal. If it weren’t for the customers, the dogs would starve. Guess who gets to claim that charity donation on their taxes?
A few years ago, Dannon Yogurt had its customers mail in the foil top from their yogurt containers and they’d give to breast cancer research. Really? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper fro the customers to save the postage and mail a check to cancer research and take the tax credit themselves. Such a scam.
It’ll morph into what the (BEPAD) Black Entitlement Perpetually Aggrieved Demongraphic does, viz. whine, demand, and we have no choice but to bend over.
Society continues to elevate the mentally ill. This guy is seriously disturbed and unstable. He probably eventually will kill him self.
Cue John Wayne... "Cutting off your Johnson doesn't make you female....It just makes you a guy without a Johnson."
LOL, fact is, he got beaten by a girl.
Good job.
I was ‘right there’.
Vin Scully whould be afraid (if he was still working).
Heh heh heh. Most. Go look at the picture.
Roflmao!
That weightlifter is a piss poor example of a lifter
His stupid ego which can’t handle being crushed at male competitions is what pushed this
Not any sexual confusion
What an utter Asswipe
Don’t write about “it” negatively that can be tracked to you
Only four more years
They will hunt you down
I’ve never warned anyone here about what they write
I’m self employed but i exercise caution in biz meetings and with employees
I’m lucky I’m in a region where 75 percent of white people think like me
It’ll be interesting to see how real women react when all the gold medal for women are given to men. Will they continue going along with the delusion?
“Morov Chopyurkokov”
Priceless!
I give it a 9.7 final score.
Heh, it was always somewhat of a drinking game for us during the Cold War, we would try to come up with rude names, and this story fell into that seamlessly!
Glad I could make someone (including myself) laugh.
My first emotion was anger, but...that doesn’t do me any good!
Silverleaf made me snicker with that...I think the comment made me think about that old movie “Groove Tube” where they had a skit about the “Sex Olympics”..
This is actually a GOOD thing as it is yet another example of real-world application of the Left’s insanity.
Unfortunately a lot of good young women will suffer but hey, it’s all in the name of “the cause”.
Color me shocked.
LOL. Who will be the next “Jimmy the Greek” fatality.
