Not sure I understand the insult. The article mentioned the distances and called it half ironman (Ironman 70.3 might be more correct, but I think everybody calls that half anyway).
Adding the word to the title doesn't make a huge difference to me "Two men die in Half Ironman Cork competition in Ireland"
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoGuess wording can be taken in different ways. >"They were competing in a so-called half Ironman event". This seemed to indicate it was a lesser event. "so-called". But maybe it was just referring to a type of event. And it was just poor grammar? Who knows, maybe it was GPT producing the text?
- cauthon 3y agoNo, it's just pointing out the colloquialism. "IRONMAN" and "IRONMAN 70.3" are the official names, even though "full" and "half" are how they're commonly referenced. "so-called" isn't diminutive or derogatory
