The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics will enforce stricter regulations for transgender athletes, requiring them to have assumed their new gender identity before the age of 12.
This decision has sparked controversy, particularly after the participation of older transgender athletes in previous events.
The International Olympic Committee and other governing bodies have adjusted their guidelines to address concerns about potential advantages for transgender athletes over cisgender women.
The move reflects a broader push for fairness and the protection of the female category in sports.
Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies has defended her reasoning why transgender women should not be allowed to compete in female sports.
