The thing that doesn't happen, has happened again.

"Valentina Petrillo's place on the podium meant that Morocco's Fatima Ezzahra El-Idrissi missed out on a medal during the T12 final for visually impaired athletes."

At least he only came in third place, but shouldn’t have been running at all.

Misogynistic cheat.

Probably failed in the men's events so now has to pretend to be a woman.

Most sporting bodies are becoming wise to this new form of cheating.

I wish all the female entrants just refused to race. This is just plain unfair.

.
But he prevented a woman from winning bronze.

The article says he was not picked for an Olympic team in 2021, believed to be because of pressure from other athletes.
