Transgender and nonbinary middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz ran the second fastest time ever of any American in the women’s 1500-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials Sunday, qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, charged ahead of Elle St. Pierre and Emily Mackay in the final stretch of the race, finishing with a time of 3:55:33, a trials record. All of the top eight finishers set a new personal best time, according to OutSports. Paris will mark Hiltz’s Olympic debut.
In a post-race interview with NBC Sports, Hiltz, 29, said the race had significance beyond their personal accomplishment.
“This is bigger than just me. It’s the last day of Pride Month. ... I wanted to run this one for my community,” they said. “All the LGBT folks, yeah, you guys brought me home that last hundred [meters]. I could just feel the love and support.”
Hiltz said Elle St. Pierre, who finished third and was the top-finishing American in the Tokyo Olympics women’s 1500, pushed them and the other runners to go faster. St. Pierre was in the lead for most of the race, finishing the first lap in 61 seconds.
“Elle St. Pierre has elevated women’s distance running. I saw the time, and I didn’t think that was possible,” Hiltz told NBC Sports. “We all had to rise because of her. … Awesome team we’re sending to Paris.”
Pierre and the second-place finisher, Emily Mackay, also qualified for the Paris Olympics Sunday.
Hiltz wrote in a social media post Monday that a childhood dream of theirs came true when they qualified for the Paris Olympics.

In other words. A cheater.
Precise, I like it.
World Athletics’ policy doesn’t specifically mention nonbinary athletes, but those who were assigned female at birth are generally allowed to compete in female categories if they haven’t received hormone therapy.
According to these rules Hillitz was either born male XY but transitioned before puberty or was born female XX but has not received testosterone.
I believe you are right.
The craziness runs deep here, and I am not referring to Nikki Hiltz herself/themself. I was not familiar with this case so I did a search to check it out. The first half a dozen articles at which I glanced were tying themselves up in knots to avoid any direct acknowledgment of Nikki's biological sex (female). I gather that Nikki rebelled at dressing like a girl while still pretty young and that she now regards herself as having been a closeted lesbian through high school. She was actually the homecoming queen in high school; I have no idea whether she was sexually active at that point in her life, with whom, and what her friends and boyfriends knew or thought. A closeted homosexual high school kid is not much of a story. She finally came out as gay in college. A couple of years later, the out and proud lesbian decided that she didn't identify as a woman, at least not all the time, so she's now come out as non-binary and fluid. But somehow, the leftworld press thinks that acknowledging her biological sex is now taboo.
The thing is, the BLTQXYZ activists and most of the media now use labels to confuse, not explain. We are supposed to regard her as trans and her labels as they/them, and the trans label gets conflated with everything else. She's still a biological woman competing in women's sports. I have not seen any indication that she is taking testosterone or any other medications, and my understanding is that she wouldn't because she doesn't identify as a man either.
FWIW, women's soccer had a case similar to this. Rebecca Quinn played girls and women's soccer in Canada and now plays in the NWSL in the U.S. She is a top tier women's player and a longtime workhorse for the Canadian National Women's Team. Her sexuality was never an issue, and it should have never been a matter for public comment except that we now live in the era of nonstop rainbow flag advocacy, so the activists insist it is important we know about the sexual preferences of athletes. So Quinn was a lesbian playing women's soccer. Nobody cared. Then she decided to come out as trans -- but she stayed right where she was, in women's soccer, and settled for a short haircut, changing her pronouns, and dropping her first name. But she still plays women's soccer, so the rainbow coalition PR hype is entirely artificial. Nikki Hiltz is the same.
The point of this nonsense is to condition the public to accept "trans" without question -- so then, if and when Lebron James (to pick an arbitrary example) decides to transition, change his name to Letitia, and play for another 20 years as a top international women's player, he will be unquestionably accepted because the trans label is all we have to know.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Stop legitimizing this thing's mental insanity.
Need the “detestable things” one too
ITself sound cover ALL the bases.
Pretendgender runner
If non-binary, how are they qualified to run as a woman?
Women want to compete head to head when they have an advantage, but they want their own separate sport when biology gives them a disadvantage. I say screw womens’ sports. If they want to go to the Olympics they can take up archery or horsemanship. Or, the IOC could add some events for sewing or diaper changing.
As for the perverts who think a few hormone treatments or getting a penis cut off will make a man into a woman, they would never be seen again with a unisex event Olympics.
[If non-binary, how are they qualified to run as a woman?]
Stop asking logical questions. Reprobates NBC, Joe Biden and Barack Obama can’t explain it.
Why would anyone waste their time watching this DEI trash?

I agree with you on all points ...
“I believe this runner is biologically female.”
No, it is a dude.
Utter, craven, unforgivable stupidity on the part of officials.
Hopefully, he will be banned from competition in Paris.
A biological female winning a female race isn’t really news.
I’m laughing at the women who allow this. They wanted ‘equality’ and now they can’t complain when they get it even if it means they lose.
All women must scratch any race with a tranny in it.
And, I read your 160 profile narrative statements and think I agree with every one of them.
I suggest others seek them out.
I thought the olympics say no to this
