Telfer won the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 57.53 seconds.

Slow. The current record is 52.16 seconds, set by American Dalilah Muhammad on October 4, 2019 at the World Championships in Doha. Compatriot Sydney McLaughlin finished in a close second. Her time of 52.23s was the third-fastest of all time and a new PB. Jamaica's Rushell Clayton also finished with a new personal best, her 53.74s earning her the bronze medal.

NO recent “woman’s record” can be compared with any other previous record without knowing if a woman actually won it.

Well he could have ran just as fast as needed to win. But it’s still unfair. If I ran a marathon as a man I would be placed on the mens results. If I competed as a woman though even though I was a man, needless to say I would place higher in the womens end results that the mens.

Here’s an interesting case, a girl sued to stop a trans from competing and then actually beat him in a race....

You need to realize that there are a lot of extraneous environmental factors that go into setting records, such as track and local weather conditions, and even the time of day to name a few. Run a race at sea level, 3,000 feet, and at 5,000 feet and the results will be different. These things aren’t necessarily noted in the record books. Likewise, will the records have a asterisk noting the winner was a biological male? Probably not.
