Olympic Wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock Opposes Competing Against Biological Men

The gold medalist emphasized the physical challenges and fairness concerns of wrestling biological males in women's sports.

Tamyra Mensah-Stock, a 2021 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling, stated she would only wrestle biological men in practice, not in competition.
Mensah-Stock highlighted the significant physical challenges of wrestling men, even those smaller or lighter than her, as a key reason for her stance.
She joins a growing number of athletes voicing concerns about fairness and safety in allowing biological males to compete in women's sports divisions.
Her comments come as debates over transgender participation in women's sports continue to influence policies and public opinion, with some organizations implementing bans on such participation.
Mensah-Stock, also known for her patriotic display after her Olympic win, recently signed a contract with WWE, though her role in the organization has not been disclosed.
