Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was recently dubbed University of Otago sportswoman of the year during the Blues awards, according to New Zealand’s Otago Daily Times.
Hubbard was reportedly the first transgender winner of the award during the event’s more than 100 year history. The outlet continued:
The Queenstown athlete became the first openly transgender woman to compete at the Olympics when she contested the women’s 87+kg at the Tokyo Games this year. The 43-year-old was eliminated from the event when she failed to make a successful lift in the snatch. Her achievement was recognised with the sportswoman of the year award at University of Otago and OUSA Blues and Golds Awards on Tuesday.
In a statement to the newspaper, Hubbard said he was “grateful for all of the support and kindness received from the teaching staff and students at Otago University.”
“It is not possible for athletes to complete at the Olympic level without the encouragement and aroha of friends, family and supporters. This award belongs to everyone who has been part of my Olympic journey,” Hubbard noted.

They just have to put it in our face, don’t they.
She’s so hot…
Never heard of Univ. of Otago, but it can be added to my "do not hire" list.
“…she failed to make a successful lift in the snatch”
There’s a joke in there somewhere, but I won’t touch it.
I stay in a permanent state of disbelief that women put up with this. They should all walk out on sports until this is rectified.
Since the term “sportswoman” has lost all meaning, maybe next year they should pick a piece of furniture as ‘Sportswoman of the Year’. That couldn’t be any sillier than what they did this year.
As a side note, I guess no one cares about the real women who are getting sidelined by this ongoing farce.
Ewwwww! That's a no for me as well.
Ummm...gender-assuming
Worthless mookabooking freak show this ass clown is and the University of Otago what ever the hell this is is pathetic and should be shunned by any sane student.
SO WE HAVE a person sho is a man, who did not undergo a sex change, but who identifies or feels like he’s a woman. When I was growing up, we called these people cross dressers....
Bruce Jenner, has no skin in the game. Like this freak, they merely say they’re transgender. They haven’t cut off their genitals etc.
This is pure unadulterated Irish BS.
If you scan the articles this morning on FR, you realize that we live in a country with no leaders in the Democratic Party.
Everything is political. That budget boondoggle is so full of crap it’s sickening.
For example, why should the American tax payer be paying for gas stations?
The only answer is to tax us when we use them?
What a flabby dude.
He’s just not a natural snatcher.
The US is heading in a terrible direction in almost every single way possible.
I remember when you had to actually win something, or accomplish something, to receive such an award.
Oh, it’s New Zealand. Who cares?
The COURAGE that she has to BREAK THE GLASS CEILING and now clear the path for all kinds of women to compete in athletics, not just those born that way!
A hero for our children!!!
(don’t laugh, that is what the Left thinks)
And, anybody who would not have voted for HIM would have had their houses burned down by Antifa/BLM thugs.
What, you expect moral courage from them?
