Well we can all relax now the big strong man is going to sort it all out for us.

Good for him. I hope he is elected.
Aside from that I do think he is looking quite attractive now he is more mature. Anyone agree?

I am keeping my fingers crossed he is elected, however I am worried that he will be excluded because he has said up front he would protect women’s sport and we all know how the woke brigade (I don’t know what else to call them) will be up in arms and try and bar him.

He used to have a different view but has changed his mind. I hope he becomes President. However my view of the Olympics is forever tainted by their behaviour.

Good for him. I can’t see how any elite sportsman could take pride in winning a medal because of his physiology giving him an inbuilt advantage. It’s obviously about the prize money for those who do.

That’s good to know Mollygo. I hadn’t heard anything about that until I read your post, so thank you.

It was on the news tonight. That’s the first I knew.

* Mt61* celebrating men punching women and it becoming an Olympic medal winning sport was a wake up call for so many.

Absolutely ridiculous that men can compete against women, I mean what planet are these people on? Good for him if he can stamp it out- if these sex change people want to play sport, they should play against someone else that has had a sex change- Sharon Davis says it’s all wrong in sport today. I have absolutely nothing against these people- they can be whatever they want to be. I don’t care, it doesn’t affect my life, or emotions, until I see women getting punched in the face/its not on at all.

I wasn't his biggest fan because I loved Steve Ovett, but I have to admit I admire Sebastian Cole for nailing his colours to the fairness for women mast. He's shown more integrity and bravery than so many who are perfectly willing to sacrifice women's sport to male inclusion. There is an agenda to prevent his election as President of the Olympic Committee, they'd prefer an ignoramus like the present one who says the identifier for age and sex in your passport is all. That you can change the sex identifier in your passport from M to F without so much as a smidgeon of evidence..........

He has said that the protection of female sport is vital and on his agenda if he is elected President of the Olympic Committee
