Laurel Hubbard, first transgender Olympian, eliminated from weightlifting competition - "Hubbard, who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics, was eliminated after failing to record a single lift in three attempts in Monday’s over-87-kilogram super-heavyweights."

Laurel Hubbard’s groundbreaking Olympics debut didn’t quite go as planned.

Hubbard, who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics, was eliminated after failing to record a single lift in three attempts in Monday’s over-87-kilogram super-heavyweights.

The New Zealand native missed her first lift, at 120 kg in the snatch, with the bar going over her head and behind her back. The judges then ruled against her second attempt, at 125 kg. Her third attempt, also at 125 kg, also resulted in the bar going over her head, resulting in an unceremonious end to her competition.


Hubbard’s inclusion in the Games has proven to be a divisive topic, given that the 43-year-old had not competed internationally as a weightlifter until she began her gender transition at the age of 35.

Though Hubbard satisfies the protocol for transgender athletes as first established by the International Olympic Committee in 2015, her testosterone levels are still several times greater than the standard for biological women.

As I've said this entire time, the worst case scenario wasn't Hubbard winning gold. It was Hubbard failing and then the trannies will go "You see! Trans people don't have an advantage! That's just alt-right hate speech."

Well, Hubbard losing is even more proof that Trans cannot be trusted with doing anything important. Dude had several times the advantage a normal woman has, but still was a failure. Trans bullshit ruins you mentally, and as weird as it sounds, it's one of the most important things when trying to lift.

Tranny tranny lifting weights
loads the bar with lotsa plates
lifts it up towards the sky
over women, very high

twas a man not long ago
changed it for olympic show
enter laurel, came to quarrel
picked a fight to show her morals

on the stage he stood out stark
pattern baldness twas his mark
as he waited, legs wide spread
dreams of gold within his head

all the women did their best
/ourguy/ soon was up to test
with a manly 'hup!' he strode
to the bar in lifting mode

picked it up, but there he faltered
like the gender he did alter
second try, he sure was shaky
got it up, his elbow achy

judges didn't seem to mind
almost like the lot was blind
out again, third times the charm!
but disagreed his manly arms...

here the fairy tale does end
of the man who did ascend
to a ladies locker room
the muscle laden, balding troon

Now he's not just a failed male athlete, he's a failed female athlete too.

See the tranny lost. This makes trannies less threatening to female sports, and further validates their trooniness. If one man is weaker than women that means there is no difference at all.

He's also something crazy like 43 years old, too. AP reports that the oldest person to medal in the sport is 37.

He still lost despite having an overwhelming advantage?! Take your L, bro! You suck!

I don't know that it necessarily will. Firstly he suffered a bad injury a couple of years ago that fucked up his elbow. Second the man is 43 years old, and as @WhatInTheActualFuck pointed out the oldest to win a medal in the sport is 37.

 

[round robin]

He was an out-of-shape broken bag of shit and could probably barely lift his morning estrogen pills. He had no business competing in anything except a suicide contest.

Doesn't this mean all the people sperging out over 'men pretending to be women will be consistently beating real women in athletics' would be proven wrong? And in the Olympics, no less.

 

[Don't Tread on Me]

I am confused. Isn't putting the bar over your head what you're supposed to do? How did he fail to pull it off?

Also, there are women who are lifting 120 kg over their head? Those must be some serious Amazons.

 

[Alter Ego]

I noticed he was even taking a long time starting his attempts compared to everyone else.

 

[Rykel22]

Dude's the sacrificial lamb. Out of the usual age range and plagued with injury made him the best way to show that 'trans women aren't inherently better than woman'. Prepare for an uptick in propaganda.

 

[Honk Hill]

You will never have a clean and snatch.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

Faliure as a man. Failure as a "women"

At this point just kill yourself

He failed to do that correctly. You are supposed to stop at a certain point, and not have it fly off somewhere completely different. Precise height and position is important, othervise it doesn't count. One time he dropped the weights to early, the other he didn't manage to stand up at all. In her best attempt, the second one, Judges still ruled he fucked up

Essentially, yes, but Hubbard didn't try. Hubbard half-assed every lift, but his best wouldn't beat the worst day of the winner. Those girls don't play with their lifting

Every woman there competing in the same group as Hubbard did 120kg, at least. They aren't Amazons, but the best of the best females who specifically train for those movements. They're not tall, but they're built.

You obviously have to lift the weight AND lock it in stable, motionless position with arms fully extended, not lift it and immediately drop it behind your back like some deranged troon retard. In snatch you also have to lift the bar from ground to fully extended arms in one continuous rapid movement, which is why the abomination failed his 2nd attempt
