WA Scoring Tables

[Atticus]

My inquiry has nothing to do with sports; just whether trans people can be recognized for the gender they think they are.

I was responding...

[Atticus]

I agree. Not all body types (or the bio-mechanics they employ) reap the same reward from the super-shoes....

[Atticus]

And that's why we put up with you around here . . . ...

[Atticus]

She has LOTS of growing up to do, but I wish her well!...

[Atticus]

A. I still think there have been medalists that did not meet the "A-Std'.
B. Donley's point remains - having been to the Big Show before helps...

[Atticus]

So, if you were in an earnest conversation with someone you 'otherwise' respected, and 'she' (a man who has transitioned to 'female') said she was much...

[Atticus]

There are often references to performances across events and 'scoring tables' are invoked to make comparisons.

WA has revised theirs, so...

[Atticus]

You lost me.
Isn't A. just this year's list?
As for B., every year's early list bears little relevancy to . . . anything. It just depends...

[Atticus]

The 1950s called. They want to congratulate you for still living there.

Seriously though, the whole issue is extremely problematic right...

[Atticus]

To invoke the Burden-of-Proof Fallacy - YOU are the stat guy, you name one!

edit - Oh, I see what you did there. Alfred Yego medaled in...

[Atticus]

Basil Rathbone = Sean Connery.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey = Daniel Craig.

Love em all....

[Atticus]

Whatever it takes to get him to the starting line in Eugene is full health.
He was really missed in Tokyo!...

[Atticus]

Better than some exchanges around here!
But yes, you certainly can start a thread about ARs that cropped up in another thread....

[Atticus]

I'll guess there have been 800 runners who were very competitive, but didn't run super-elite times, that have medaled....

[Atticus]

Asked and answered. Neither gets the title. Different sport altogether....

[Atticus]

Unless, of course, you are an elite runner who was 'cheated' (strong word, but I'll go with it here) out of winning prize-money (aka one's livelihood)...

[Atticus]

And she didn't do any damage with her first 200s.
Methinks she will figure it out and be competitive at the 100 also.
If we're letting her...

[Atticus]

No title is awarded, simple as that. In T&F, both share the Gold. Different sports....

[Atticus]

The obvious answer is that marks from before that were qualifying for LAST year's Championships. T&F is definitely a game of 'what have you done for...

[Atticus]

A hypothetical without a chance of happening. We'll burn that bridge when we come to it, i.e., never....
