Two men took the gold and silver at a women’s cycling event in Chicago earlier this month.
The Daily Mail notes biological men Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson continue to dominate at women’s cycling events. Williamson has won 18 titles in the women’s category in the past six years. Johnson has also started to build a strong record of winning in women’s races after previously competing, and failing to rank as a man.

In the women's SingleSpeed race, Johnson took the gold and Williamson took silver, leaving only one biological female on the podium, Allison Zmuda, who won bronze.
Johnson also placed first in the women's Cat Half, winning $150 in prize money. Williamson placed fourth in that race, receiving a $75 prize.
3X Olympian cyclist Inga Thompson noted the event usually has 20 female racers, only 4 took part this year. She blamed USA Cycling, the national governing body for cycling in the United States, for allowing the men to participate in women’s races.
Johnson beats the women by 2 1/2 minutes, 4 women enter the race that usually draws over 20 women. @usacycling is killing off our grassroots development of women, ignoring UCI policy. https://t.co/hqEjdhVjiB
