Thats not true re: 2nd place finish. If it is post a link/source. Not everything you see on internet is true.One Louder said:TXAGFAN said:
Surely we can agree a trans woman has no advantage over cis women in figure skating though, right?
Only by virtue of their social status. Apparently, this abomination was worthy of marks that led to a second-place finish. No one in their right mind can objectively call that skating graceful or even adequate.

Ehhh...I saw it in one of the related links. It's stupid that this person was even allowed to compete. I think we can agree on that. Just being subject to a trendy mental illness shouldn't make you qualified to compete at that level.
The ones I feel sorry for are the women that lose not to the competition but to "wokeness".MuchosPollos said:Tramp96 said:

From article
A 59-year-old male Finnish farmer, Markku-Pekka Antikainen, took up figure skating at age 50, declared himself trans, and has now performed under the female name "Minna-Maaria" at the opening ceremony of the European Figure Skating Championship. Finland was proud to announce that they would be including the world's "first trans figure skater" at the proceedings, only to discover Markku could not skate.
Previous warnings that the trans "athlete" may not be qualified for the event were present, but strangely, ignored.
Markku has competed before with similar results. However, he received higher marks from judges for his routines anyway, likely due to his trans status. Take a look at this routine, in which Markku dresses up as a Gisha, stumbles about and yet still gets a 2nd place score:

I'm starting to think he's not the mentally ill one……

Surprised they didn't let him just hang on to the wall all the way around the rink.Easy 8 said:

I've seen some poor opening ceremonies acts at the Olympics and other sporting events. This was nothing more than that.spider96 said:Well, that certainly makes it ok then.Bubblez said:
