However soon enough, Killips rallied and left his female opponents in the dust.

Enough suffices! Empty podium other than for the male who naturally ended up atop all the females in the ladies’s category. In spite of there being a non-binary/trans classification he quickly might have competed in. Keep it up girls! #SaveWomensSports https://t.co/OcFnyUezYi
