Edit: yes, Laural HubbardLaurel Hubbard, you mean?
On the Women's or the Men's team? I'm not being snarky, just unsure of which leage you're saying that was score was done in (and what you're implying it means).
Yes, Womens team.
I'm just noting this because it seems she's being presented as besting every woman who has ever participated in that event. The reality is there have been a number of women to top that score(7 in Rio).
They did studies and set standards. She met them.
The (relatively new) study in the article I posted says that the hormone therapy trans women athletes go through reduces strength, size, speed, and bone density as well as lowering testosterone to the same levels as other female competitors.
I mean is this the case you want to hang your hat on to call for an entire new category of athletes?
