Transgender Olympian celebrated Kirk's death and called him a Nazi

Transgender cyclist Chelsea Wolfe, who was a reserve on the US women's team at the Tokyo Olympics, is facing fierce criticism for his reactions to the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, reports Fox News.

He posted on Instagram with the headline “We did it!” and claimed that Kirk was a “Nazi.” USA Cycling distanced itself from him and announced that he would no longer be a member of their team as of 2023.

Wolfe had already made headlines in the past when he wrote on Facebook in 2020 that he wanted to burn the American flag on the Olympic podium.

In the meantime, USA Cycling has tightened its rules and restricted the women's category to biological women. The reactions to Wolfe's posts have been fierce – tennis legend Martina Navrátilová, for example, has also expressed criticism.
