New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard became the first out transgender woman to compete in the 125-year history of the Olympics on Monday as she failed to register a lift in the women’s super-heavyweight +87kg category.
Hubbard’s three failed attempts in the snatch one at 120kg and two at 125kg saw her exit the competition at Tokyo’s International Forum. After her final attempt, she waved to crowd and bowed before making her way off the stage.
Chinese weightlifter Li Wenwen is the real story of the sport at Tokyo 2020, not New Zealand s Laurel Hubbard
Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard fills the stadium in Tokyo, but the real show is 21-year-old Chinese star Li Wenwen â an athlete in a class of her own, writes Tracey Holmes. 3 August 2021
As far as crowds go, it was the biggest yet at Tokyo 2020.
It was the night of the women s final in the 87+ kilo class weightlifting at the Tokyo International Forum.Â
According to news site insidethegames.biz, media seats in the venue were oversubscribed by 300 per cent.
In the build up there had been plenty written, perhaps only outdone by the number of abusive social media posts by those who object to the inclusion of transgender women, despite fulfilling a strict set of policy requirements determined by the IOC and the International Weightlifting Federation.
