This rundown of the competition says it all. A female athlete that has trained her entire life comes in fourth at the NCAA Championship
Thomas beat Virginia Cavaliers freshman Emma Weyant by more than one second and Texas Longhorns freshman Erica Sullivan by at least two. Brooke Forde, who won a silver medal at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo last year, raced for the Stanford Cardinal and finished in fourth.
Is there anyone that can explain why Will Thomas' life and desires to beat down women is more important than the life desires of Brooke Ford who just lost in the pinnacle race of her career to a guy?
For anyone who think she is loved and adored by her teammates they had this to say about him: "Biologically, Lia holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women’s category, as evidenced by her rankings that have bounced from #462 as a male to #1 as a female. If she were to be eligible to compete against us, she could now break Penn, Ivy, and NCAA Women’s Swimming records; feats she could never have done as a male athlete.”
