Transgender Athletes In The Olympics. Sport is again divided over inclusiveness and a level playing field. New guidance from the international olympic committee (ioc) says there should be no assumption that a transgender athlete automatically has an unfair.

The international olympic committee has allowed transgender athletes to participate at the olympics since 2004, but until this year, none had done so openly. Trans athletes are a highly diverse population, encompassing not only athletes of different body shapes and sizes but also very different transition journeys.
