Australian four-time Olympic gold medallist Cate Campbell has urged elite sporting competitions to protect sex-based categories and to develop a policy that “pays attention to inclusion” but “prioritises fairness.”
The swimming champion addressed the world swimming body FINA before it voted on Sunday to restrict transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. A majority of 71.5 percent of more than 190 members voted in favour of the new policy, which looks to create a separate category for transgender athletes.
