Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas won her first individual title Thursday at the Ivy League Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship, setting a pool record as she touched more than seven seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
The University of Pennsylvania senior won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:37.32, easily defeating Penn teammate Catherine Buroker, who placed second at 4:44.83.
The winning finish was also a pool record at Harvard University’s Blodgett Pool in Boston, breaking the mark held by 2008 and 2012 Olympic swimmer Kate Ziegler, according to Swimming World.
The 22-year-old Thomas also posted the fastest split in Wednesday’s 800 freestyle relay, although the Penn team finished third.
Thomas, who competed for three years on the Penn men’s team before joining the women’s side for the 2021-22 season, touched off a national debate over fairness and inclusion in sports with her record-smashing performances.

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas won it’s first individual title Thursday
There, I corrected the first sentence.
He’d never make in swimming. Way too damned hairy...
DUMBASS real female swimmers for not refusing to ‘compete’ !!!
The Times used to are solidly conservative. What happened to it?
Ha ha. But true.
We are starting to be be to told a pretend reality is real.
Um, No.
no ... we just need one category ... and the best will rise to the top ...
He will be the greatest women’s swimming champion ever....../s
(it’s why we started women’s sports)
One of the funnier “Weekend Updates!”
nope.
I’m a car.
There’s a famous Lincoln story where he said “assuming a tail is a leg how many legs does a dog have?”
And the answer - 4. Saying a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.
Boy have we gotten dumber.
For some context, it’s 500 free time would pretty easily be the girls record at my high school (a very strong program); it wouldn’t crack the top 10 for boys, though it’s still a respectable time. This is a farce. It obviously threw a race to the other weirdo in the 100 free a few weeks ago. This is a decent male swimmer who is LARPing as a girl to win and get attention. He would likely get smoked if he competed against men, he has psychological problems, so he beats girls in swimming.
I’m rooting for this mutant.
You’re watching modern feminism unravel before your eyes.
If women want to be treated as equals of men, they can start by beating them occasionally in athletic competitions.
#WINNING.
Quit calling this person a she. R
I’ve said numerous times, this is the logical extension of the 19th Amendment and Feminism.
They ruined the country and my military.
Time to reap it.
Where are the feminazis?
Should’t they be marching around with their pussy hats celebrating the great win by the girl with penis?
Yes, this is madness. Industrial scale voter fraud. People feel helpless and are being programed to accept insanity...
If he did, he wouldn’t be competing against women.
