Lia Thomas ( formerly Will Thomas )
A transgender swimmer who competed as a man until November of 2019 recently smashed several women’s swimming records at an Akron, Ohio, meet, winning the 1,650-yard race by 38 seconds over the closest competitor.
Lia Thomas was able to qualify for next year’s NCAA women’s championship with record-smashing times at the Zippy Invitational meet. Thomas would be the first transgender athlete to qualify for a national title in swimming.
Thomas has met all the requirements the NCAA has set for men to compete as women. But the astonishing way Thomas dominated the competition should raise warning flags about the prospect of Thomas competing in the nationals.
On Friday night, Thomas managed to win the 500-yard freestyle in 4:34.06. The result set a new record, Akron pool record, Penn school record and the Ivy League record.
On Saturday she won the 200 free with a pool, meet and program record time of 1:41.93, some 7 seconds clear of second place.
Then, on Sunday, Thomas won the 1,650 freestyle in a record time of 15:59.71. She stormed home to win the race by 38 seconds with Kalandadze paddling her way to the finish with a time of 16:37.44.
The 200 is a sprint. To win the event by seven seconds is incredible. Anyone who knows anything about swimming knows that something is terribly, terribly wrong with that result.
Thomas’s times would be good — if he was competing as a man. But they wouldn’t win many races at the level of competition he was competing in. But competing as a woman, he absolutely blows the competition away.

Crazy times.......
Just a point of comparison: USA Swimming Age Group Record for the 1,650 or 13-14 year old BOYS is 15:14.17. What an eff'ing achievement.
Rat gender wars…
That thing is a walking campaign poster for social conservatism.
He didn’t smash anything. The race is fraudulent and the score should be erased from the records.
#1 in the women’s dojo....his parents must be so proud
the left teaching girls that men are better at every thing, including being a woman!
When will they get guys like this in the WNBA?
Let trans compete against trans
The female contestants should stay on the starting block for 5 seconds after the gun then run their own race while the she/he gets its spotlight.
[ the left teaching girls that men are better at every thing, including being a woman! ]
I actually think we need more of the trannies competing against wamens.
Too many soft headed white female LIBERALS who need to learn the lesson the HARD way because they are too dumb to realize it.
The only WAY that a tranny could compete FAIRLY would be if you scoop out their brain and place it into another body that was BORN FEMALE!
Simple solution; just give a legitimate female a handicap such as a 50 yard head start or some other handicap, The overpaid officials of the sport should have started this years ago to even the playing field.
Here’s what worries me. Someone once said that things our grandfathers would have been shocked by will be accepted as normal by our grandchildren.
Will that sort of thing happen here?
Sickness & evil in America.
Only a libtard would have so little forethought or rational thinking to not see this coming 🤪
There has to be a mathematical formula for leveling the field. Maybe the woman has to swim the 1650, but the man swims a 2000.
I feel sorry for the girls being victimized, but I absolutely love seeing liberal idiocy predictably backfire and blow up in their puckered faces. That is probably not the nicest Christmas attitude to have, but it is the truth. I love watching the Left eat their own. I love watching one protected Leftist group victimize another, especially when the victims are liberal and caused their own downfall.
Pass the popcorn, please.
