is determined to take “all the records” in the upcoming women’s indoor track and field season after international rule changes prevented the male-born athlete from competing in the women’s U.S. Olympic trials.became ineligible for the Olympics last year after World Athletics, the global track-and-field authority, banned athletes who have gone through male puberty from elite women’s international competition.
Since winning the 2019 NCAA Division II women’s 400-meter hurdles, the former Franklin Pierce University student has competed as an “unattached” athlete, meaning one not affiliated with any collegiate program. Such events are not governed by World Athletics regulations. “That’s what’s burning this fire in my heart and in my body,” Telfer said. “So it’s keeping me going to know that I can go to indoor competitions and still be the girl to talk about, period.”
Advocates for single-sex female sports accused Telfer of being a so-so male athlete who found success only after transitioning to female.
