A transgender cyclist won the female category at a gravel race but stood alone on the winners' podium after the event.
The second- and third-place winners refused to appear at the medal ceremony after Lesley Mumford won her age group in the 100-mile Desert Gravel Co2Ut. Mumford was born a male and transitioned to female in 2017.
Mumford posted a picture on Instagram of her standing at the podium alone but smiling and holding the first-place medal
"I have no idea why so many people bailed before the podiums, but they did," Mumford wrote after finishing ahead of 43 female athletes in the 40-49 division.
Mumford finished sixth in the race's overall female category.
The event did offer a nonbinary division, but Mumford decided to compete in the female category.
Mumford outpaced Lindsey Kriete by 17 minutes. Kriete finished in second place, while Michelle Van Sickle finished third.
Niether Kriete nor Van Sickle have publicly commented on their decision not to join Mumford at the podium.
Former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines took to Twitter and said, "Enough is enough!"
"Empty podium except for the male who naturally finished atop all the women in the women’s category. Despite there being a non-binary/trans category he easily could have competed in. Keep it up girls!" Gaines wrote in a tweet.

So, Lindsey Kreite was the fastest WOMAN in the race that day, and the rightful winner.
Gutless moronic sheep < spit >
Exactly 💯
.
He is the LOSER.
Good....
(The second- and third-place winners refused to appear at the medal ceremony)
GOOD
Congrats..you beat a bunch of girls.
It accusing a specific person, just saying women voting for Democrats did this. Changes easily. Vote republican for the next 3 election cycles.
All the women should have refused to compete and let the idiot ride alone but women can get their act together.
Mental illness is a terrible thing
If I went around telling people I was George Washington they would lock me up. Rightfully so. When one is out of touch with reality that’s what should happen
Instead of not showing up at the podium, the real women should have just refused to race at all against the fake ...
You have no idea? Uh, you know exactly cheater. Also, you CAN’T transition. XX or XY. No changing it.
Notice how FoxNews dutifully calls this pathetic loser “she.”
What a weakling. Can’t beat men his own age so HE decides to call himself a woman
HE ain’t no woman and never will be he is insane and should be locked up
I think that’s what SHOULD happen...as soon as these groups get their entry requirements resolved using xx or xy.
What they should do if a tranny competitor shows up for a meet is just all leave without competing and get on line and call for a boycott of the folks sponsoring the event.
The women should take the 3 female time winners and publicize them as the winners and publicize the faux winner as the demented lying schmuck he is.
These are the same libs demanding women’s rights in sports a couple decades ago. Now they hate women.
First prize is a kick in the nutz
If all female athletes refused to compete against bio-males, no matter what the event, this crap would stop.
