Female powerlifter April Hutchinson dismissed Sunday’s record-breaking lifts by transgender athlete Anne Andres as “completely unfair.”
Andres, a 40-year-old biological male who identifies as female, completed squat, dead lift, and bench lifts for a total score of 597.5 kilograms, or 1317.262 pounds, at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship, according to a report.
The score totaled by Andres was more than 200 kilograms, or 440.925 pounds, greater than the biologically female athlete who finished in second place.
