The 2025 World’s Strongest Woman final descended into a state of utter chaos after an alleged trans athlete was awarded gold, sparking serious outrage from different coaches and athletes across the board.
America’s Jammie Booker was accused of being a biological male, so when she beat UK’s Andrea Thompson to victory at the event in Texas, many raised eyebrows over the decision to have her enrolled in the female category.
Thompson walked off the podium and called the matter bullshit while asking regulators to open an investigation. The Brit has since then been crowned as the actual World’s Strongest Woman by her coach and some of her peers.
Rebecca Roberts continues to sensationally mention that no one, not even the organizers, knew about Booker’s background. Details related to the American were outlined as murky, but through a video on YouTube, Booker claimed that everyone is dying to tell their own story and that she’s no exception to that rule.
“I am a 21-year-old trans woman who has a history of abuse and has struggled to stay true to myself while under the rule of religious parents’- she added in the end.
