- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) defended its decision to allow two previously disqualified boxers to compete in Paris, citing 'misleading information' as the cause of the escalating row.
- Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting were barred from last year’s world championships but cleared by the IOC to compete in the Olympics, drawing criticism from Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- The International Boxing Association (IBA), which disqualified the athletes, was suspended by the IOC in 2019 over concerns about its governance, and the IOC has since taken interim authority over Olympic boxing.
- The IOC stated that the athletes were 'victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA' and criticized the IBA for not following proper procedures.
- The row has intensified concerns about the fairness and integrity of the competition, with Italy’s Prime Minister and the IBA both voicing strong opinions on the matter.

Journalist

Never thought gender can be so confusing, something known as DSD- She appears to have a condition known as differences of sex development

The most unexpected victory in the history of olympics

Analyst

India’s Olympic medal tally is such a shame.

It is sad that she had to lose out on a confirmed medal like this
But she was aware and possibly did everything in her control

Unpopular Opinion: If India's opponent was 100gm overweight, we would have rooted for her disqualification as per rules

Olympics according to China

I have seen almost every event this olympics live or through highlights. Heck I saw even the qualifiers for all our athletes. 

What happened truly bums me out. The several 4th place finishes. What happened with Vinesh Phogat. And then Neeraj being unable to win gold (we should not expect a gold from someone twice, he is already a legend). 

But the heart wants more (yeh dil maange more). 

A) I don't want to say it's our athletes. Suddenly everyone is spreading that narrative, that they don't have a winning mentality. Look. One athlete may not have it. But several? This is their fucking lives. If you were in their position, would you not try your hardest? So aren't they trying their hardest? 

B) I don't nearly know enough to blame it on our government or our facilities. Sure, they would suck. But it hurts to see Pakistan and North Korea above us. So I won't take the resources argument.

C) The truth is. In a nation of 1.4 billion, we produced 0 golds. China in a similar economic condition (1990s) used to get 20-30 medals easy. 

It's us. All of us. Let's focus on sports. We have got to do better. I am not a parent today, I will be tomorrow. 
I promise to:
- Encourage my kids to take up sports, and support them fully through it if they want to 
- Not be that society uncle who keeps the football when it goes near them

We can only do our part. Cheers.

Olympics & India: Where do we go from here?

When America’s women’s basketball team beat France’s in the final on August 11th, they also helped their country equal China’s tally of 40 golds at these games. As a result, America retained its position at the summit of the official medal table—which ranks countries based on the number of golds they win—thanks to a greater haul of silvers (44 compared with China’s 27). But the official table may overstate the threat to America’s crown. By another measure, which weights the value of all medals, team USA won by a substantial margin

Medal Tally; China fast climbing, can become #1 in next olympics

India is currently 63rd place in 2024 Paris Olympics medal table , which is lower end of table.india despite being no.1 population, good GDP and ongoing process to become one of the super power of world why we POORLY lack in sports . Usa , china , Britain , australia, Germany , France are just leagues apart from us in Olympics, countries like new zealand, irland , Brazil and many countries very small , relatively unknown countries too have more medals than us

What are your honest thoughts on India's Olympics uniform?

Worst Olympics for India.

My personal vote goes to Pan Zhanle by breaking his own WR in 100M by a good enough margin once again. His lead against his opponents was so huge, many called for him to undergo doping tests

Who in your opinion was the greatest Olympian at Paris 2024?

Olympics come every 4yrs, reminds us of his story, and we cry again...

Unconfirmed reports suggest that North Korean athletes face severe consequences for failing to win Olympic medals.
At the 2012 London Olympics, North Korea celebrated winning 4 gold medals, with athletes receiving luxurious gifts and apartments from Kim Jong Un. However, after falling short of a 5-gold target at the 2016 Rio Olympics, athletes reportedly faced poor living conditions and were made to work in coal mines.
In the 2024 Paris Olympics, North Korea won 6 medals (2 silver, 4 bronze) but no golds, finishing 68th overall. While the claims of punishment persist, they remain unverified, and North Korea has not officially confirmed any repercussions for its athletes.
