(Reuters) â Former Olympic weightlifter Tracey Lambrechs says females are being told to âbe quietâ when they complain about the fairness of transgender New Zealand athlete Laurel Hubbard competing in womenâs competitions.
Hubbard is on track to become the first transgender athlete to compete at an Olympics after the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) modified qualifying requirements for the Tokyo Games on Wednesday.
The 43-year-old still has to satisfy the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) of her fitness and performance standards before selection for the team but the prospect she will compete in Tokyo has already raised hackles.
(Reuters) – Former Olympic weightlifter Tracey Lambrechs says females are being told to “be quiet” when they complain about the fairness of transgender New Zealand athlete Laurel Hubbard competing in women’s competitions.
Hubbard is on track to become the first transgender athlete to compete at an Olympics after the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) modified qualifying requirements for the Tokyo Games on Wednesday.
The 43-year-old still has to satisfy the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) of her fitness and performance standards before selection for the team but the prospect she will compete in Tokyo has already raised hackles.
“I’m quite disappointed, quite disappointed for the female athlete who will lose out on that spot,” Lambrechs, who won a bronze medal for New Zealand at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, told TVNZ.

Gutfeld! panel reacts to the former Olympic decathlete and reality TV star s announcement
Former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner said Thursday that ordinary Californians, not Hollywood donors, support her push to unseat Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom in an upcoming recall election.
Jenner responded to an article from Hollywood Reporter article noting that her close association with former Trump aides, such as ex-campaign manager Brad Parscale, would likely cost her support from prominent Hollywood donors. The 71-year-old decathlete, a Republican, is arguably the most high-profile figure to enter the likely gubernatorial race. This recall and my campaign will be powered by everyday Californians who are sick and tired of Gavin Newsom’s failed leadership, not from those in Hollywood who are in his back pocket, Jenner wrote on Twitter.
