A biological male weightlifter competing as a woman in the Commonwealth Games lost the gold medal after trying to lift far more weight than was needed for victory. Laurel Hubbard, formerly known as Gavin Hubbard before “transitioning” into a female identity five years ago, was expected to easily defeat Australian weightlifter Deb Lovely-Acason in the finals of women’s 90kg-plus weightlifting Monday.
Competing for the New Zealand team, Hubbard suffered a “horror elbow injury” when attempting to set a personal and Commonwealth record by lifting 132 kg (291 lbs). Hubbard was already far ahead of the nearest adversary, Feagaiga Stowers of Samoa, who had lifted 113kg. After Hubbard’s injury, Stowers went on to win the gold medal.

Hubbard was judged eligible to compete as a woman last year after showing testosterone levels below the threshold required by the International Olympic Committee.The IOC should adopt a "threshold" for chromosomes, with XX being the "highest level" allowed for a person to compete as a female.

Are you as clueless as the writer of this article when it comes to the sport of weightlifting?

It must have been a clean and jerk. Male weightlifters can’t do a snatch.

I would have thought that a sarcasm tag was unnecessary. Apparently it wasn’t. Here, have a clue. I’ve got extras.

What you people fail to understand, is that the odds of this "freak accident" taking place were 188% due to the questionable sexuality of the freak in question. The weight will not be mocked.
Do you guys even lift?

Samoans are the heaviest people in the world, or so I’ve read....not surprising that a woman could be built like that... totally different than a man pretending he’s a woman to win contests....

dirty little secret is that a lot of these so called "trannies" don't actually get things cut off...they start taking hormones and pretend they're a female...
SICK!.....

The dude was trying for a world record that future femaile lifters would obviously have great difficulty ever beating. But then, there are freaks in every sport and at some future date a real “she” might come along and beat that “male/female” record.
