Strongwoman Championship Thrown Into Disarray After Controversial Result

The 2025 World's Strongest Woman competition in Arlington, Texas, concluded in dramatic fashion as the victory of American athlete Jammie Booker ignited fierce debate about transgender participation in women's strength sports. The event, which should have celebrated peak physical achievement, instead became the centre of a heated controversy that has divided the strongwoman community.

Podium Protest and Claims of Unfair Competition

British athlete Andrea Thompson, who placed second, made her feelings clear by walking off the podium during the awards ceremony in a powerful act of protest. The situation escalated when three-time World's Strongest Woman champion Rebecca Roberts revealed that neither the competing athletes nor the event organisers were aware of Booker's background before the competition.

Roberts stated emphatically that the lack of transparency surrounding Booker's participation threatened the fundamental fairness of women's strength sports.
