How many males were allowed to compete as women?
Didn’t they used to have a test that stopped anyone that had too many male hormones from competing with females
Just asking

America won 40 golds and 128 total medals. 1st in both categories. There was a time in American history where that would have been celebrated. I guess politics overrides that.

I know they didn't allow the former American man compete with the women swimmers. The women that were born with both chromosomes they let them compete with women.

It's ruined itself......just another hyped professional sporting event. For me.....and this is just how I see it.....way too much else to do than watch any of it.... Oh.....and of course...just as with other professional sports.....the tax dollars used is objected to....

Why not, they were born female with female genitalia, that is your criteria for which sex you are. Some olympic sports use a criteria of Testosterone levels for competition. Quite a few of the sports bodies ban transgenders born male from competing in women's sports. It varies by sport. I know Nikki Hiltz ran for the U.S. women's track team and is transgender. She was born female and identifies as non-binary.
