Swimmer Riley Gaines says transgender woman and competitive swimmer Lia Thomas being nominated for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year award is a “slap in the face”. Ms Gaines, who is also a nominee, told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan it’s “wild” that women have fought so hard to get equal opportunities in sports, only for a “complete 180” to happen.
“It’s not personally, like ‘I want the award over Thomas’, it’s ‘I want any female to have that award over Thomas, any biological female’.”
