Varvara Subbotina, a four-time world champion in synchronized swimming, commented on the admission of transpersons to participate in tournaments in the United States.
On April 20, the United States Synchronized Swimming Federation (USAAS) allowed athletes to choose a gender category independently based on their identity.
“This is completely wrong. I also can’t imagine how men would compete with women or even synchronized swimming.
In my opinion, a man should compete in men and a woman should compete in women. It will be extremely strange to mix both sexes in this sport, ”says the Olympic champion RT.
Following the USAAS decision, contestants sponsored by the organization will no longer be required to provide evidence that they have undergone hormone therapy or surgery.
It was previously reported that she was a trans woman. to win Italian running championship.
