According to foreign media reports, New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard (Laurel Hubbard) will become the first transgender athlete to participate in the Olympics. This is the first time in the 100-year history of the Olympics.
Hubbard, 43, once participated in the competition as a male, and turned into a female in his 30s.
In 2018, Hubbard, who was injured in the game, may have ended her career for a time, but she has been working hard to recover.
It is reported that Hubbard will participate in the women's 87 kg competition at the Tokyo Olympics, and she is currently ranked 16th in the world in this event.
Through the New Zealand Olympic Committee, Hubbard expressed his gratitude to those who gave her kindness and support.
In an interview in 2017, Hubbard once said: "I know that I won't get everyone's support, but I hope people can keep an open mind." (Production Zhou Jing)
