Tracey Lambrechs, a former pro weightlifter and Olympic competitor, is warning that the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports could be disastrous for female athletes.
Lambrechs, from New Zealand, ramped up her advocacy for keeping women’s sports for biological women after male-to-female transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand qualified to participate in the upcoming Olympic games in Tokyo. Lambrechs competed against Hubbard and lost several weightlifting records to Hubbard. Hubbard had competed in men’s weightlifting competitions before transitioning.
