The transgender skateboarder, 29, who claimed first prize in a New York City women's competition this weekend, defeating her 13-year-old and 10-year-old competitors, is a divorced, ex-Navy father-of-three who was rejected from the women's Olympic qualifiers last year because her testosterone levels were too high.
Ricci And Tres, 29, beat 13-year-old Shiloh Catori to claim first prize at The Boardr street skating contest at the Lower East Side Coleman skatepark in New York City on Saturday, taking home $500.
The competition was open to all ages and abilities, but its heats and finals were segregated by gender.
Tween Shiloh, who won the event last year, insists she is 'not at all upset' by the result and says Ricci should be able to compete.
However others, including fellow skater Taylor Silverman, say it's unfair that they have to compete against someone who developed as a man, making them taller and stronger than their competitors.
Now, DailyMail.com can reveal that Tres tried to enter the Women’s Street USA Skateboarding National Championships in a bid to qualify for the Olympics, but that she was rejected.
She took hormones, but found afterwards she still has too much testosterone in her body to meet the requirements of the International Olympic Committee.
Tres was born Richard Batres and before she began taking hormones - which she says is the 'extent of her transition' - she served four years in the US Navy as a machinist petty officer of the 2nd class.

At very least, no 29 y/o adult should be competing with a 13 year old preteen for anything concerning physical strength and agility. We’re not even getting to all the fake gender portrayals being catered to without any debate.
No sympathy from me. By and large women are allowing this to happen.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer was bragging about winning competitions in karate then he admits he was fighting against preteen kids.
Might as well have Tony Hawk compete against teens.
[[He’s competing against 13 y/o girls.]]
Yeah because He’s a big tough man dontchaknow! Pretty freakin sad that he feels good about beating young girls in competitition
Regards,
So... Not only does he think he’s female, he identifies as a TEENAGE girl?
I knew this day would come. Fathers everywhere had better arm up.
Kind of like those female college swimmers, competing against that tranny. I think the NCAA threatened them too.
I’m sure they still do but they’re probably way different now from what they were.... You get my drift.
This idiot should put a gun to his head and end it. The world would be better off if he did and like minded perverts should do the same
And those psychos will be permitted to undress in front of these little girls in the same dressing rooms. This dude is still sporting male parts and the crazies will insist he gets to be in the children’s bathrooms.
A clear cut case of mental illness if ever there was one. How utterly disgusting, and this gets promoted as normal. This guy can call himself a she all he wants, he’s a male and always will be. Just sickening to the core that this is accepted in society I don’t treat it for the mental illness that it is.
Nope, born in Indiana
It was just the spelling of honor...
