The talk about how transgender athletes were going to 'dominate' events and have an unfair advantage.
She didn't perform a single successful lift and the Chinese athlete has lifted more than Hubbard has in her lifetime.
EDITED...
It's grossly unfair on the New Zealand athletes and other women who did not qualify based on that place being taken up by a person who was a man until their mid 30s with previous competitive weight lifting experience and now identifies as a woman having taken their place based on inherent biological advantages.

Not true, Laurel Hubbard said she quit lifting when she was 21 and then only started lifting again after her transition.

Surely that’s more damming for this argument?
She broke records as a junior male.
We don't know how she would have competed as an adult male.

She still had an unfair advantage, but despite it, she still isn't good enough.
