The three sports organisations held a briefing for media in Tokyo today, where they discussed transgender athlete participation in the Olympic Games. Speaking at the briefing, International Weightlifting Federation spokesperson Mark Cooper said the participation of transgender women athletes was a question of finding the right balance between inclusion and fairness. He said Hubbard had met the required athletic performance standards as well as the IWF s transgender athlete policy, which was based off guidelines set by the IOC in 2015.
