Part 5/9:
Turner's decision to kneel in protest against competing with Sullivan, who she deems a biological male despite being recognized as female by the governing body of USA Fencing, reflects a growing sentiment among some female athletes. The emotional weight of such a protest, coupled with the hours of training leading up to the event, underscores the pressures placed on women in these encounters. The commentator posits that it is unfair for Turner to find herself in a position of having to make such a protest and calls it a failure on the part of USA Fencing.
