Tamyra Mensah-Stock, an Olympic gold medalist, states that she will only practice wrestling biological men.
A few women in sports have competed against men, according to the Olympic wrestler.
Planet Chronicle Digital reports that Olympic gold medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock has stated that she would only wrestle a man during practice in regards to the ongoing controversy surrounding biological men in women's sports.
The sixth annual FOX Nation Patriot Awards aired Sunday night on Planet Chronicle Channel at 10 p.m. ET. Prior to the significant occasion, Planet Chronicle Digital interviewed Mensah-Stock at the Tilles Center for Performing Arts in Brookville, New York.
"Yes, I know a few people who have competed against the opposite gender," Mensah-Stock said when asked about her experience in such competitions.
Although Mensah-Stock did not entirely dismiss the possibility of facing a biological male in the WWE, she rejected the notion of competing against a man in freestyle wrestling.
""I've wrestled plenty of guys in practice and I will only wrestle them in practice because wrestling men is very, very difficult even when they are 20 pounds smaller than me. If they're the same weight as me, I just keep it in practice," she said."
In May, WWE officials confirmed that Mensah-Stock had signed a contract. She won gold in freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo Games in 2021, becoming the first Black female to do so.
In contrast to her previous statement, after winning in Tokyo, Mensah-Stock proudly displayed the American flag over her shoulders and declared, "I adore representing the U.S. I absolutely love living there, and I'm thrilled to be able to represent U-S-A!"
Three years ago, she was named Fox Nation's MVP of the year: Most Valuable Patriot due to her display of patriotism.
The ongoing discussion about biological men competing in women's sports remains a prominent topic in the realm of athletics.
The Supreme Court recently considered a challenge to Tennessee's prohibition of sex reassignment surgery for minors. Legal experts predict that the ruling could influence the future of girls' sports and potentially bar biological males from competing against female athletes for years to come.
