I can’t help but feel that this was on purpose.
The weight he failed to lift here is quite small for a man his size who’s been doing this for years, and he’s done a lot better than this recently, even a few months ago.
Maybe someone thought him winning a medal would cause too much backlash at once, and gave him a call to throw the competition in exchange for a bag of money so they can boil the frog a little longer?
This trannies in sports thing is pissing off a lot more people than you think, especially feminists.
Looking at comments on various news sites and JewTube videos, I’m not the only one who thinks this.
BBC:
Transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard made Olympic history but failed to record a successful lift in the women’s +87kg weightlifting.
She became the first openly transgender athlete to compete at a Games in a different gender category to the one in which they were born.
But after a failed attempt to lift 120kg and two failed efforts at 125kg in the snatch, her competition ended.
Team GB’s Emily Campbell won silver, with gold going to China’s Li Wenwen.
Campbell became the first British woman to win an Olympic weightlifting medal with her combined total of 283kg.
China’s Li lifted an Olympic record of 320kg to take the title, with American Sarah Robles claiming bronze with 282kg.
Hubbard said: “I know that from a sporting perspective I haven’t really hit the standards that I put upon myself and perhaps the standards that my country has expected of me.
“But one of the things for which I am profoundly grateful is that the supporters in New Zealand have given me so much and have been beyond astonishing.
“I’d like to thank the New Zealand Olympic Committee – they have supported me through what have been quite difficult times.
“I know that my participation at these Games has not been entirely without controversy but they have been just so wonderful and I’m so grateful to them.”

What are the rules?
In 2004, the IOC permitted transgender athletes to take part in the Olympics.
Since 2015, its stipulations have stated athletes who have transitioned from male to female can compete in women’s sport – without requiring surgery – as long as they have declared their gender identity is female for at least four years and kept their testosterone level below 10 nanomoles per litre for at least 12 months.
In addition, for individual sports, the IOC allows sporting federations to set their own guidelines. World Athletics has set five nanomoles per litre as its benchmark, and it is likely others, such as the International Weightlifting Federation will adopt the same, once an ongoing IOC study is completed.
According to NHS data, men’s testosterone levels range between 10 and 30 nanomoles per litre dependant on factors including age and time of day, but a younger healthy male typically ranges between 20 and 30. Women’s testosterone levels range between 0.7 and 2.8.
Hubbard and others must take hormone suppressing drugs to reduce their testosterone levels.
It is sickening that a man lost this competition to women, and it makes me ashamed to be a man. This just fulfills the discredited trope that women are better at being women than men, which has been proved false by science itself.
The good news is that a tranny will win a medal at these Olympics though, but it’s a woman playing for a women’s team pretending to be a man and “non-binary” at the same time.
Yeah, I don’t know how that works either; all this tranny stuff is mind-boggling.
But she’ll be on a list somewhere as the first tranny to win an Olympic medal, and the backlash from normies will be smaller since she’s a woman playing against other women.
And the frog just keeps getting boiled…
