Afterburners were actually more dominant in the 1500 You can just see him so so much faster then the field the last 25 yards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBbmgqp0xII Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It's really not that big of an accomplishment for a transgender weightlifter. I guess it would be incredibly impressive if one was a woman transitioning into a man. Just look at the ages of this person and all of the competition. This person was finished as a men's weightlifter...and was nowhere near top of the world anyway.

I can't imagine how a man can be proud to be competing in women's weightlifting. The President is a fink. |

| Mission146 Administrator Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 4147 | Of course, it's framed as, "Took a break from men's competition," which is a polite way of saying, "Wasn't good enough."

Right!? It'd be like a spousal abuser bragging that he beat his wife in a fight. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Or another way, an older man can hit from the seniors tees, no man hits from the ladies tees. The President is a fink. |
