Gonna make my predictions for women’s boulder & lead combined before I watch the boulder semifinals round.
Top 8 from bouldering will be: Janja Garnbret, Brooke Rabatou, Natalia Grosssman, Miho Nonaka, Erin McNiece, Oriane Bertone, Zhilu Luo, and Jenya Kazbekova.
Then we’ll have to wait a couple days for the lead round of semis, and the people likely to get the highest scores there are: Janja Garnbret, Ai Mori, Chaehyun Seo, Jessi Pilz, Laura Rogora, Mia Krampl, Brooke Rabatou, and Natalia Grossman.
So I think the 8 moving on to the finals will be:
Janja Garnbret, Brooke Rabatou, Natalia Grossman, Ai Mori, Miho Nonaka… Those are the 5 I’m pretty sure about, and the remaining 3 slots are a tossup between: Zhilu Luo, Erin McNiece, Jessi Pilz, Jenya Kazbekova, and Chaehyun Seo. Oh, and Oriane Bertone!!
My podium prediction…. Obviously Janja Garnbret for gold! And then?? Man, I don’t know—totally depends if Ai Mori has a good boulder round or not and if Brooke and/or Natalia have a good lead round. And I could see any of these women making the podium tbh, but I’ll go with Brooke for silver and Ai Mori for bronze. ??

proof for the asshole in my ask who is either hatefollowing me or trawling this post for people to call slurs:
russia (under the roc) was banned from the 2024 olympics for their actions toward ukraine
The thing is, I’m from South Africa, and as anyone born here after 1994 will tell you, the history of apartheid is drilled into us every year in school. No matter what other history we do, we always get back to apartheid.
One of the things we study is how and why apartheid came to an end; among the biggest reasons was international pressure. A point we usually touch on is how apartheid-era South African athletes could not compete in international sporting events like the Olympics. I once met a woman who was a world class athlete during the latter years of apartheid. She could not compete in the Olympics as a South African, and had to leave the country and join up with another country to take part.
And that is why I couldn’t understand, watching the Olympics opening ceremony last night, that Israel was allowed to be there.
If the world was better at dealing with apartheid states thirty years ago than it is now, I think we have a problem.

🔻HELP SUPPORT HASHIM & LAILA🔻
Tumblr media
⭐️This fundraiser is for Hashim & Laila, a married couple in Gaza. Hashim was working two jobs as a NGO coordinator, & as a monitor at a coffee lab. Laila worked as a lab specialist in agriculture. They both worked tirelessly each day in order to have enough funds to cover the cost of medical procedures for IVF so they could start a family together.⭐️
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, their dreams to start a family were shattered due to isntreals total destruction of all healthcare facilities, & all infrastructure in Gaza. Which violates every international law known to mankind. Hashim & Laila’s new home was also destroyed & they have lost everything. They have been displaced 3 times now, & they are struggling to find food, water, shelter, & all basic necessities needed for survival. Hashim & Laila are raising funds in order to evacuate Gaza so they can finally start a family together.
‼️DONATE TO HASHIM & LAILA USING THE LINK BELOW:‼️
Tumblr media
‼️Only me and two others have been sharing this fundraiser so they truly need all the help they can get with sharing & with donations!! They have only received 19 donations in the past 4 months! Help them reach a goal of €5,000 by the 18th of this month! They have not even reached €1,000 yet, so please help in all ways possible!!!‼️

About to start a replay of the Men’s Combined (Boulder & Lead) climbing semi-finals. I’m going to predict who I think will make it into the top 8.
Anraku Sorato
Toby Roberts
Jakob Schubert
Alberto Ginez Lopez
Adam Ondra
Colin Duffy
Sam Avezous
Tamoa Narasaki
… ok let’s see what happened. (The event already happened a few hours ago.) I’m sure this won’t be right, and there a bunch of other guys I’d like to see make it. Doyuhn Lee will probably make it in actually. And I might be underestimating Hannes Van Duysen.

I can't believe JK has gone fully mask-off and just outright admitted that the reason she's decided those poor boxers must be men is because they "look like men" to her. Like, we all knew TERF ideology discriminated against women that didn't fit the eurocentric standard, particularly women of colour. We all knew TERF bioessentialism was insane and directly harmed cis women in its attempts to exclude trans women. But girl I didn't think she'd make it this glaringly obvious. JK honey I don't think you're supposed to say the quiet part out loud
