Hubbard will be the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Games.
Zerohedge.com reports: IOC head Thomas Bach commented: “The rules for qualification have been established by the International Weightlifting Federation before the qualifications started. These rules apply, and you cannot change rules during ongoing competitions.”
Bach also noted the rules were “currently under evaluation” and would be reviewed “at a later date”, the Post wrote.
He continued: “The IOC is in an inquiry phase with all different stakeholders… to review these rules and finally to come up with some guidelines, which cannot be rules because this is a question where there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It differs from sport to sport.”

Meanwhile, we’ve spotted the other women competing against Hubbard…

I’ve always thought the Olympics have been pure propaganda for centuries And don’t watch them at all. Does anyone Really???? Be honest. Who can be bothered watching Its so boring. People running or jumping or throwing things as far as they can Just primitive rubbish.
Allowing men to participate in women sports….not going to waste my time watching.
Won’t be a real “win.”
