Heather du Plessis-Allan: Laurel Hubbard represented New Zealand brilliantly (Photo / Getty Images) I am so impressed with the way Laurel Hubbard conducted herself last night Set aside the fact that she shouldn’t be competing at the Olympics because of the unfairness to cis gender women, you’ve got to be impressed with her resilience. That must’ve been so hard for her; the entire world has been debating whether her inclusion is fair. She must’ve known that. She hinted that she did. She would’ve known her some of her competitors had spoken out publicly against her inclusion, and according to the New York times, there were a few jeers from the crowd when she walked on stage last night. She might’ve heard that.
