This is the freaking Twilight Zone.

How does the audience react to this?

Like when Leah Thomas gets on the block, when they're about to start a race, how does the audience react to this?

As you can imagine, right, like there was a lot of silence.

A lot of people didn't really know what to do, what to say.

There wasn't a lot of clapping.

There was a lot of like protesters and like trans rights activists who were there who were being loud and the posters and blah, blah, blah.

Lots of booing.

Kelly J. Keene was there, who is a phenomenal women's rights activist out of England.

And she was there and she... I'll never forget, I'm standing on the pool deck.

And at this point in time, like, of course, me and all my teammates and my coaches, we all knew this was wrong.

But it still...

I didn't know how to talk about it or what to say or what outlet to go to.

And I remember hearing her from the stands and she just said something that we were all thinking and she yelled so loud, he's a cheater.

And I was like, oh my gosh, I needed to hear that.

So there was a lot of booing, as you can imagine, lots of silence.

And through this, so you have the loud trans rights protestors

And is there anyone countering that?

Are there loud pro-women sports protesters?

There were.
