The strongman competition yanked the title from someone after finding out they were assigned male at birth. Jammie Booker grabbed first place at the World Championship event in Arlington but got booted when organizers said the win broke their eligibility rules about competing based on biological sex. Officials admitted they messed up during the screening process and tried reaching out, but got no response.
Andrea Thompson from the UK moved up from second to claim the championship belt. Thompson already won the whole thing back in 2018. The games went down in Texas and required every competitor to enter based on their birth sex category. Booker stayed quiet after getting disqualified and has not posted anything publicly about losing the title.
