Cross gender athletes take part in the Tokyo Olympics! She may become a strong enemy of Chinese women's strength

Beijing, July 27 (reporter Xing Rui) in the women's weightlifting competition of more than 87 kg in the Tokyo Olympic Games, a cross gender athlete will be welcomed - Lauder Hubbard from New Zealand. This is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that cross gender athletes have participated. If nothing happens, Lauder Hubbard will play in the game on August 2. It is worth mentioning that Chinese contestant Li Wenwen will also participate in the competition at this level.

"Transgender" refers to an individual whose gender identity is different from the natural physiological gender at birth. In fact, before 2013, Hubbard was a male, but he chose to change his gender at the age of 35.

According to Reuters, the IOC's updated competition guidelines in 2015 show that cross gender athletes can participate in women's events after their androgens meet certain requirements. With this provision, Hubbard had the opportunity to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games.

After Hubbard qualified for the Olympic Games, it caused great controversy in the world weightlifting circle, with supporters and opponents holding their own opinions.

It should be noted that Hubbard had participated in men's weightlifting competitions before he changed his gender. According to the daily mail, Hubbard began to lift weights as a teenager and won the 99kg class of the New Zealand youth national championship over the age of 16. But I don't know why. He gave up weightlifting since 2001.

Opponents believe that allowing Hubbard to participate in the women's group competition completely ignores her previous advantages in speed, height, endurance and strength as a male, which is completely unfair to female athletes. In addition, Hubbard also accounted for the number of other excellent female athletes. Foreign media also pointed out that judging from his weight lifting achievements in his youth, he was not enough to enter the men's national team.

Many professional weightlifters have also attacked this. Among them, Anna vanbellinghen of Belgium said that if Hubbard participated in the Olympics, "it would be a joke."

But some supporters believe that Hubbard's participation is in line with the rules. IOC President Bach once said that before the Olympic qualification competition, the International Weightlifting Federation formulated the qualification competition rules, and in the continuous qualification competition system, the rules cannot be changed.

Earlier, more than 20000 people in Australia signed a petition calling for changes in the rules for cross gender athletes. Bach also promised to review the current regulations governing cross gender participation in the future.

Hubbard rarely responds to the voices in the online world. In an interview with a New Zealand media in 2017, she said: "changing people's minds is not my goal. I hope they support me, but I can't let them do so."

No matter what the outside world thinks of Hubbard, she has determined to appear in the Tokyo Olympic Games. In fact, since 2017, Lauder Hubbard has participated in the women's group competition and won two silver medals in events above 90kg that year. In the World Cup held in Rome last year, she won a gold medal of more than 87kg.

According to her past achievements, Hubbard undoubtedly has the advantage of winning medals in the large-scale weightlifting competition of the Olympic Games. However, she is 43 years old this year, while Chinese teenager Li Wenwen was born in 2000 and is only 21 years old this year. At present, the world records of women's snatch (148 kg), clean and jerk (187 kg) and total score (335 kg) above 87 kg are maintained by Li Wenwen. The Tokyo Olympic Games is still very interesting( (end)
