I thought for sure that Steve would have gone with Laurel Hubbard.

New Zealand will set a transgender first by sending a biological male to the Olympics to compete against women in weightlifting.
Laurel Hubbard, who set New Zealand junior records in weightlifting in 1998 before he transitioned to identify as a woman in 2013, qualified for the Olympics in women’s weightlifting due to a 2015 International Olympic Committee (IOC) rule change, CNN reported. According to the Olympics guidelines, males can compete in women’s divisions so long as their testosterone levels stay below 10 nano moles per liter for at least 12 months before their first competition.
Hubbard, 43, suffered a significant injury in 2013.
I hope Laurel wins bigly. I hope Laurel sets a new olympic, and world record for Womyn’s Weightlifting.
What I suspect happens is that during the lift to move into first place, Laurel will pull something and have to withdraw. But my how stunning and brave will Laurel’s performance have been.
