Valentina Petrillo, a 50-year-old biological male, is set to make history as the first transgender Paralympian.
With the International Paralympic Committee allowing sports bodies to set their own rules, World Para Athletics has permitted anyone legally recognised as a woman to compete in women’s events.
This decision, much like the uproar in boxing during the Olympics, risks sparking a major controversy and undermining the Paralympics before they even begin.
The scandal echoes the outrage over boxer Imane Khelif, whose swift victory over Italy’s Angela Carini in just 46 seconds caused such a stir that it threatened the reputation of the Olympics.
Julia Hartley-Brewer speaks with Spiked Online editor, Tom Slater.
