Sexist in our opinion.
nup, the ongoing physical impact this has on a woman's body can be significant
If you are referring to a woman who has had recently had a C-Section birth, then I would suggest that they wouldn’t be in the Olympics.
If you are suggesting that a woman has much more on their plate because they have some children (assuming they are not a single-parent) then I would say that that is an inherently old fashioned viewpoint. I speak from the perspective of a single parent who raised 3 kids.
May I ask you in what way do you come to your position on the subject?
Also, there is the matter of choosing to have, or not have children.
I am confident that the women competing would not like any advantage (or disadvantage) to be perceived because of their ‘Life Choices.’
?
Would you suggest that they divulge this simply because of the BBC commentators that you mentioned?So you would like all women competing to divulge whether they have had children or not, so that we may regard them as less-able because they have had kids…?

Is it a qualification elsewhere?

I am speaking as a single father and purely from the physical perspective that 9 months gestation impacts on training; birth impacts on the body and feeding impacts on nutrition. None of those factors affect men in the same way.
don't be stupid.
I am merely acknowledging that pregnancy and childbirth can have a disruptive physical impact on the ability to compete and prepare for Olympic standard competition. Significantly more than the impact of ejaculation has on male competitors.

are there any breastfeeding mothers in the Olympics?
Many mothers choose to bottle feed a baby, a father can do the same role. No reason why the partner of the mother cannot be the main care giver.
Should Mothers be labelled as such in the Olympics then Oldius?
Giving birth involves some not inconsiderable physical trauma; being a father does not - except for the conception perhaps...We are getting annoyed with the commentators on the BBC constantly referencing to female competitors who have children, “Mother of 2 children,” but never mentioning how many children the male competitors have. Sexist in our opinion.
Being a Mother (or Father) should not be mentioned as if it is a handicap.
I found it disingenuous that she did. I hope she did not deny another athlete the opportunity.she been carrying an injury since the trials, I'm surprised she even went to Tokyo

And another thing... Tennis. I mean it's an over-long, dreary, awful sport 95% of the time. Do we really need more of it?
Tennis shouldn't be an Olympic sport - swing ball maybe
The time she ran of 11.05 in the SF was considerably quicker than 4th place (top 3 selected for Tokyo) athlete at UK trials:I found it disingenuous that she did. I hope she did not deny another athlete the opportunity.
The real problem is too much commentator prattle and not enough coverage of events.I don't get the point. There is a physical effect of gestation and birth - that's it. I have no idea if there are breastfeeding mothers in the Olympics but during the period of feeding, there are widely acknowledged impacts on the nutritional intake of the mother. This would affect training and recovery.
What is the point that you are bothered about? Is it seriously just that the commentators have mentioned that someone is a mother?
not enough coverage of events.
