Laurel Hubbard has written with its participation as the first open transgender athlete at the Olympic Games History, but a medal clearly missed. The 43-year-old New Zealändin came in the super-heavyweight (+87 kg) on Monday on three failing attempts in tearing right at the beginning of the competition and expired prematurely.
World Champion Li Wenwen (China) secured with three Olympic records (320 kg / 140 kg cracking + 180 kg) the gold medal, silver went to the Britin Emily Jade Campbell (283 kg / 122 + 161), bronze Holted Sarah Elizabeth Robles ( 282/128 + 154) from the USA.
At the participation of Hubbard, who was born as a man and to adapt her sex in 2012, it had also given criticism of possible biological advantages in advance in addition to great support. However, the World Cup (+ 90 kg) of 2017 had fulfilled the IOC-specified guidelines for transgender athletes. These relate to testosterone levels, among other things.
