Cycling competition organizers have made it clear they will not tolerate any bullying or derogatory comments about participants in their thing. What thing? The Madison at Washington’s Marymore Grand Prix.A women’s bike race in which the top three medalists were all men.
Transgender athletes swept the board in a 1-2-3 at a prestigious women’s cycle race over the weekend, infuriating fans and leaving female competitors in the shade.
Every medalist in the elite women’s Madison at Washington’s Marymore Grand Prix on Friday had a trans athlete on the two–person team, marking the first time trans women are known to have had a place on every podium spot in a race.
Race venue the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome in Redmond warns it will not tolerate ‘bullying or derogatory comments especially related to race, creed, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, physical or mental disability’.
All the medals, acclaim, and prize money at this women’s competition went to men.
Leading the field was Jordan Lothrop who was achieving podium finishes against men in the Victoria Cycling League in her native Canada as recently as last year.
The sailing fan from British Columbia has worked as a Mechanical Engineering Technologist and was ranked 22nd in the men’s Victoria Cycling League this time in 2023.
Second place went to Jenna Lingwood, 43, who raced as a man until 2017 and is now a member of the Oregon-based women’s cyclocross squad Team S&M.
She is a physics graduate of the University of Washington who works in Portland for Intel as a Supply Chain R&D Engineer.
Californian Eva Lin, 28, used to race as Henry Lin for San Jose State University’s men’s team, but his placings have soared since he switched to its women’s team in 2022
Taking third spot was Californian Eva Lin, 28, who used to race as Henry Lin for San Jose State University’s men’s team, but whose placings have soared since she switched to its women’s team in 2022.
I think we warned them this would happen, and we were likely to see something similar in the Granite State, but the Governor (unexpectedly) signed HB1205 with sorts of school sports in the state by biological sex. The Left, if they manage to get the votes and the Governor’s office (Sununu is not running for re-election), will repeal that faster than you can say, “podium full of men at a women’s bike race.” And that’s what would follow. A systemic disincentive to girls to get involved in sports or to commit the time necessary to excel and succeed in them.
The far left labels this injustice as social justice, but I think we can see from the Madison at Washington’s Marymore Grand Prix that it is anything but.
