Swedish skier Elis Lundholm will make history as the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Swedish ski team announced last month that Lundholm, a biological female who identifies as a man, is competing in the women\u2019s freestyle skiing division<\/a> under current International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines.<\/p>\n

Lundholm is also the only openly transgender athlete competing in the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

FENCER WHO WENT VIRAL FOR PROTEST OF TRANS ATHLETE REACTS TO TEAM USA FOLLOWING TRUMP’S WOMEN’S SPORTS ORDER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Swedish skier’s inclusion follows the IOC’s 2021 “Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations.” The framework<\/a> includes a 10-principle approach in recommendations for each sport to consider for eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n

“This Framework recognizes both the need to ensure that everyone, irrespective of their gender identity or sex variations, can practice sport in a safe, harassment-free environment that recognizes and respects their needs and identities, and the interest of everyone \u2013 particularly athletes at elite level \u2013 to participate in fair competitions where no participant has an unfair and disproportionate advantage over the rest,” the document reads.<\/p>\n

Under the current framework, transgender athletes can compete in the Olympics after being cleared by their respective sports federations.<\/p>\n

CAITLYN JENNER BACKS IOC MOVE TO BAN TRANSGENDER WOMEN FROM OLYMPICS AFTER REVIEW FINDS UNFAIR ADVANTAGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In November, reports circulated that the IOC is considering broader transgender eligibility standards that could bar biological male athletes<\/a> from competing in women’s sports. The claims came after a presentation from Dr. Jane Thornton, the IOC\u2019s medical and scientific director, which showed physical advantages in males even after extensive testosterone treatments.<\/p>\n

However, as of Thursday, a new policy has yet to be officially announced.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to the IOC for comment.<\/p>\n

Gender guidelines for the Olympics faced scrutiny during the 2024<\/a> Paris Olympics where Algeria\u2019s Imane Khelif and Taiwan\u2019s Lin Yu-Ting, who previously failed gender tests, won gold medals in their respective weight classes in the women\u2019s division despite major uproar. Khelif has insisted that they were female. Lin has not commented on the controversy since the Olympics ended.<\/p>\n

US COULD BE ‘GLOBAL VILLAIN’ OF WINTER OLYMPICS, CNN HOST AND SPORTS WRITER SUGGEST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Though the IOC has yet to announce a formal policy, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) updated its policies<\/a> in July to coincide with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. will host the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
