USA Cycling Distances Itself After Video Shows Trans BMX Rider Using Violent Language Days After Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Killing

The federation says Chelsea Wolfe has not been a member since 2023.

Overview

  • USA Cycling stated Wolfe is neither on the national team nor a current member, noting her affiliation ended in 2023.
  • Wolfe, an alternate for the U.S. women’s BMX team at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, posted Instagram stories celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including “We did it!”
  • Days later at the Oakland Grand Prix, a video shared on X by WomenAreReal identified Wolfe telling a female protester to “go suck a sawn-off shotgun” and saying, “We kill Nazis.”
  • The clip drew more than 2.5 million views after being posted Monday, fueling broad circulation of the exchange online.
  • Wolfe has not publicly addressed the video, and outlets reported attempts to reach her were unsuccessful; international cycling barred transgender women from elite women’s events in 2023.
