NZ names transgender lifter in Commonwealth Games squad
New Zealand selected its first transgender athlete for the Commonwealth Games after naming weightlifter Laurel Hubbard in the squad for the 2018 Games in Australia. The 39-year-old, who has previously competed as a male, will represent the country in the women's over-90kg category. Earlier in 2017, Hubbard became New Zealand's first transgender athlete to win an international weightlifting title.
