5

FROM FOX NEWS: USA Cycling has provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing social media posts by transgender athlete Chelsea Wolfe, an alternate in BMX for the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics, celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination this week.

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) previously employed a gender eligibility policy that allowed biological males to compete in the women’s category at the time of Wolfe’s status as an Olympic alternate in 2021.

Wolfe’s social media statements, made via Instagram story, included a reshare of news of Kirk’s assassination with an animated caption that read “We did it!” and a selfie with a caption that suggested Kirk was a “Nazi.”


“Being a Nazi is completely optional btw. He didn’t have to do all that, but he did and now he’s dead. Don’t live your life in a way that the world is better following your death,” Wolfe wrote.

Amid the backlash, Wolfe seemed to egg her critics on, sharing a meme with a caption that read, “Your boos mean nothing. I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

“The views of current and former national team athletes are their own and do not reflect those of USA Cycling. Chelsea Wolfe has not been a member of the USA Cycling National Team or a member of USA Cycling since 2023,” USA Cycling said in the statement.
