Riley Gaines, a standout swimmer from the University of Kentucky, was among Thomas’ fiercest competitors. Gaines, who had been vocal about her concerns regarding transgender athletes competing in women’s divisions, now finds herself the recipient of the medals initially awarded to Thomas. Gaines had previously spoken out about feeling disadvantaged when competing against Thomas and has been a prominent figure in the push for changes to the rules governing transgender athletes in sports.

Critics of Thomas’ participation argued that her presence in women’s competitions gave her an unfair physical advantage, which could undermine the integrity of female athletics. Supporters of Thomas, on the other hand, have framed this decision as a setback for transgender athletes, expressing concern that it could discourage future participation and progress toward inclusivity.
