Lehigh Sports Forum

**** I have a picture of that gathering, however the Forum does not seem to want to accept it. Maybe someone with more technical expertise in attaching pictures to Forum Posters can help me with that, (D3 you seem pretty good at attaching pictures to posts).

Give it a rest.

>>>I asked Klehner if he would like to meet Denny and he said yes. Denny was wrong in his description of the situation, by saying I tried to sucker him in. Denny was sitting about 2 rows over and down a row. I went over to him and asked if he wanted to meet Klehner and try to clear the air? He said ok, knowing full well who he was going to meet and the purpose. The meeting did not go well as Klehner clammed up and did not want to talk to Denny. You can only do so much in trying to less hostilities.

... I guess all 3 of us are old enough not to be 100% how it went, especially since it took you two 3 posts to recall where it was. I clearly recall before you introduced Ken to me that you asked me if I "thought Nothing Meaningful was an asshole." I didn't - and certainly wasn't going to change my mind and stir up a bees nest. Real life conversations are almost always more civil than online ones. Alan Brown once bought me a beer, later offered me another but we called each other a lot of things online, not one of which was 'ass-hole', a phrase I'm not fond of using, whether on or off-line.

It appears that there is a censor for the forum.I have attempted to make a statement that in the 60's. biolgical female athletes lost their medals because they FAILED their chromosome test. Because these athletes were Russian. American press stated that Russia was caught cheating.

Yes, I remember. It was a doping scandal nothing to do with pronouns.

I looked around earlier today and I couldn't find any case of a Russian athlete losing an Olympic medal because of a failed sex test. Found lots of other interesting stories about such things, though, dating back to the 1930s.

The Press "sisters" Irina and Tamara (one discus/shot putter and one hurdler/pentathlete) never lost their medals but quit before the '66 World's.

'66 European Championships.

There were unofficial world championships in 1976 and 1980, I assume due to Olympic Boycotts those years

First Official Athletics World Championships were 1983 in Helsinki. Famous for Tiina Lillak winning the hosts only gold Medal on her last Javelin Throw. Note her as the image of a Valkyrie. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W06WjffnHi4 ---- of course some would consider her too masculine.

For several Olympiads it was held the year before the Olympics, Then in each odd year. Now I think it might become like wrestling, and many other sports, every non-Olympic year. It will be held this year in Eugene, in the smallest facility it has been at.
