New Zealand’s Laurel Hubbard made Olympic history on Monday, even if she won’t make the podium.
Hubbard became the first openly transgender woman to compete in the Games. But she did not to register a lift on any of her three snatch attempts and did not finish the +87 kg competition at Tokyo International Forum.
Though the International Olympic Committee has had a policy since 2003 to allow for transgender athlete participation, none has made it to the Games until now.
