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.

Within 10 years, no one will be watching non-professional women’s sports anymore because of nonsense like this and all the other stories that we’ve seen about men and boys participating in women’s events as “women.” Every time, the man or boy wins hands down. Why would a girl or woman want to participate in track & field events, weight lifting or anything else knowing that they’ll never win the medal?
LOL! Yes, I remember the “all drug Olympics” skit when SNL was still somewhat funny.
Transgender should compete in separate category. Call it IT.
I am sorry this man hurt himself.
“A man’s got to know his limitations.”
So true.
Was it an intended pun or Freudian slip to characterize the accident as a “freak”?
Actually, these people are HEROES to me - they are the ONLY PEOPLE who are able to make examples of just how far the Left has gone. We can only talk in hypotheticals, while they are literally STEALING medals from women (except here, due to the injury).
Bummer this time, but hopefully people like him clean in the Boston Marathon.
She’s a very freaky ‘girl’!
Mental illness...
Women are bit by bit being shut out of professional and prize awarded sports by the feminists. A man can compete in the Men's events and place fifth or maybe even first then decide he is a she and go win the women's event. I suppose that enhances his own sports record.
Forget Drugs just use Men ,LOL
Looks like a bad snatch to me.
That’s a guy dressed up like a sheila!!!
Gravity is a cruel task master indeed!
The left demand we live in a world of lies.
LOL!
disgusting!
