Part 2/8:
According to coverage from the New York Post, the World’s Strongest Woman competition faced an unexpected twist. The initial winner, a competitor named Jamie Booker, was disqualified after online sleuths uncovered graphic evidence revealing her biological sex was male. The disqualification came after the runner-up, Andrea Thompson—a UK lifter—was awarded the title following Booker’s removal.
The controversy ignited when video and image evidence circulated online suggesting that Booker was not as she claimed. The organizers' decision was rooted in adherence to official competition categories that are based on biological sex, highlighting the ongoing debate about fairness in sports and the implications of gender identity policies.
