A 49-year-old trans-identified male seized the bronze medal in the women’s 400m T12 running competition at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships in Paris. Valentina Petrillo holds several women’s titles and had broken multiple women’s running records, but won his first women’s world championship medal at Chartley Stadium today.
Petrillo, born Fabrizio, was racing against Omara Durand of Cuba, Alejandra Perez Lopez of Venezuela, and Fatima Ezzahra El Idrissi of Morocco. Due to their visual disability, Durand and Lopez competed with guides, who were wearing bright yellow vests and assisted the women to ensure they stayed on the course of the track.
In the final result for the 400m race in the T12 visual impairments category, Petrillo took the bronze, displacing El Idrissi.
According to the World Para Athletics Championships guidance on participation, “an athlete shall be eligible to compete in women’s competition if she is recognized as female by law.” But their policy book goes on to note that it will “deal with any cases involving transgender athletes in accordance with the [International Olympic Committee’s] transgender guidelines.”
Tumblr media
Peter Eriksson, the record-making former head coach for the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic program, spoke to Reduxx on Petrillo’s bronze placement.
“It’s shocking to see that women’s opportunities to a medal were taken by a cheating 49-year-old male,” Eriksson said. “The International Paralympic Committee is diminishing the rights of fairness in women’s sport by allowing transgender athletes at their events.”
Eriksson calls the World Para Athletics guidelines a “cop-out,” noting that every sporting authority has the ability to create their own rules. He also says that World Para Athletics policy was adapted from that of World Athletics, which recently ruled that trans-identified males who underwent a male puberty were no longer eligible to participate in women’s championship competitions.
“It’s a cop-out not to make a stance in support of women in sport. It feels kind of like they are trying to push the blame onto the IOC,” Eriksson says. “They adapted World Athletics rules and should also adopt the World Athletics regulation on transgender and DSD participation.”
As previously reported by Reduxx, Petrillo currently holds 8 women’s running championship titles, but failed to earn even one while competing as a male. Petrillo first changed his name to Valentina and began taking estrogen in 2019. The following year, he began competing against female athletes and has since broken multiple Italian women’s running records.
Petrillo has been diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a disorder of the eye that causes retinal degeneration over time. Due to this visual impairment, he has been permitted to compete in both matches designated for women with disabilities, as well as those which are not.
In September 2020, Petrillo raced in the women’s 100-, 200- and 400-meter competitions at the Italian Paralympic Athletics Championships in Jesolo, despite not having undergone “gender affirming” surgery.
At the time, Petrillo hadn’t even updated his identification documents, which still listed his sex as male, though this did not prevent him from being entered into the match. He won first place in all three races and therefore qualified to represent Italy at the Tokyo Olympic Games. But after a last-minute intervention by the Italian government, Petrillo was barred from competing against women with disabilities at the Paralympics in 2021.
Tumblr media
At the Master’s Athletics Championships in Arezzo in October 2020, Petrillo outpaced both Cristina Sanulli and Denise Neumann, both of whom had previously won world and European Masters titles and have been regarded as the best in their events. Sanulli and Neumann would later sign a petition calling for men to be barred from women’s sport.
In March of this year, Petrillo competed in and took the win at the 200m race for women aged 50 to 54 at the Italian Indoor Masters Championship in Ancona.
Leading up to the race, a women’s rights advocacy group called RadFem Italia contacted government officials to ensure that Petrillo would not be granted access to the women’s locker rooms. In response, Petrillo was provided with a designated changing room specifically for him at the race grounds.
Petrillo soon after lashed out in a Facebook post wherein he equated criticism of his presence in women’s sports to Nazism, telling detractors they were “on the same level as Hitler” and comparing sex-based sports categories to a 1936 ban on Jewish athletes.
Upset at being denied the use of the women’s locker room, Petrillo wrote, “In Ancona, you made me have a terrible time, it is not fair… you’ve relegated me to a ‘dedicated’ locker room,” a situation which he claimed was similar to the segregation of those called appestati, or sufferers of a plague.
Reduxx also previously revealed that Petrillo admitted that he used to “try on his mother’s clothes” when he was younger, a behavior that was considered a symptom of a sexual disorder known as transvestic fetishism until recently.
He has also said that prior to declaring a transgender identity he would steal his wife’s clothing. While describing a memory of “touching” his mother’s skirt for the first time, Petrillo said, “It was an incredible emotion. It was like touching heaven with your finger tip.”

A visually impaired female German athlete who is set to compete in the Paralympics against a trans-identified male athlete has expressed concerns about fairness for women and called on international authorities to determine a “clear position” on the issue.
Katrin Müller-Rottgardt, 42, told BILD that while she believes that “everyone should live in everyday life the way they feel comfortable,” she feels that Italian sprinter Valentina Petrillo, a man previously known as Fabrizio who fathered two children, has “advantages” over female athletes on the basis of his sex.
Using feminine pronouns for Petrillo, Müller-Rottgardt said, “I find it difficult in competitive sport. She lived and trained as a man for a long time, so there is a possibility that the physical requirements are different than for someone who was born a woman. She could therefore have advantages.”
Both sprinters compete in the women’s T12 classification, which is designated for athletes with visual impairments, and are likely to compete against each other in the Paris Paralympics 200m. Last year, in the women’s 200m final at the Para Athletics World Championship, Petrillo displaced Müller-Rottgardt to take a bronze medal while she was relegated to fourth place.
Recalling the 2023 race, Müller-Rottgardt remarked, “I came in ahead of her, but because my guide let go of the wristband that connected us too early, we were disqualified. That’s the only reason Valentina got bronze, as she did in the 400 meters.”

Celebrating the Unsung Sport HEROES
Niyas S: Athelete
Sree S. Niyas, a native of Punalur in Kollam district, is a remarkable athlete who has overcome significant challenges to make his mark in the world of sports. Niyas was a finalist in athletics at the World Para Grand Prix tournament held in Tunisia in 2022. He is currently ranked 7th in the Asian rankings and 31st in the world rankings for running. Working as a Post Assistant in the Postal Department, Niyas is now training for the Asian Games and the Olympics.
Niyas's story is one of resilience and determination. Despite being diagnosed with bone cancer at a young age, he transformed his disability into a source of strength through sheer willpower and perseverance. Born into an ordinary family, Niyas's journey to success is inspiring. His dedication to athletics, a passion he nurtured from childhood, serves as a model of courage and perseverance that children today should emulate.
Niyas's success is a testament to his unwavering faith and determination to overcome adversity. Differently-abled athletes like him are role models for countless individuals who face obstacles in their lives. It is unfortunate that such inspiring athletes often do not receive the recognition they deserve. May this short biography of Sree Niyas inspire children to pursue their dreams, no matter the challenges they face.
NIYAS: RUNNING TO CONQUER LIFE
This is the story of S. Niyas, a native of Punalur, Kollam, who bravely battled cancer at the age of six. Niyas represents the hope of an entire nation, carrying the dream of raising the Indian flag on the world stage. He is currently training intensively for the 2023 Para Asian Games and the 2024 Paralympics. Niyas qualified for the Paralympics by winning gold in the 1500m, 900m, and 400m races at the 19th Senior National Para Athletics Championship held in Bangalore in 2021. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted his journey, preventing him from completing the competition process.
Niyas's interest in sports was sparked in ninth grade when he realized that his talent lay in athletics. His passion for running was fueled by his sports teachers, Sandhya from Punalur Government Higher Secondary School, and Santhosh from Punalur Sree Narayana College, as well as the encouragement he received from Joy of Thiruvananthapuram Sai and Olympian OP Jaisha. A gold medalist in the All India Inter-University Cross Country Competition in 2017 and 2018, Niyas set impressive records, running 21 km in 1 hour and 13 minutes in the Gandhi University Intercollegiate Half Marathon in 2018 and completing a marathon of 42 km in 2 hours and 45 minutes in 2019.
After completing his undergraduate degree at Alvas College, Mangalore, Niyas is now focused on preparing for the Olympics, with support from his coach, Subhash Joseph of the Kasargod Sports Council, and his sponsors, including Vipin Nambiar and Arun Nambiar from the ESSA Group. Niyas is the eldest son of Shah Jahan and Arifa, hailing from the Puttan House in Charuvila, Punalur. His journey is a beacon of hope and inspiration, demonstrating the power of perseverance and the strength of the human spirit.

Telangana labourer's daughter breaks world record in Para Athletics
In an inspiring achievement, Deepthi Jeevanji, a daughter of daily-wage labourers from Telangana’s Warangal, bagged the gold medal with a world record time of 55.07 seconds in the women's 400m T20 category race at the World Para Athletics Championships in Japan.
Tumblr media
Deepthi broke the previous record of 55.12 seconds set by Breanna Clark of the US at the World Championships in Paris in 2023.
The 20-year-old’s achievement stands out as exceptional, as she fought against all odds to achieve this feat, coming from an underprivileged family. Just a few years ago, Jeevanji couldn't even afford a bus ticket to Hyderabad for training.
Deepthi Jeevanji started the race strong and led the first 200 meters. Though Clark closed in towards the end, Deepthi made a final push in the last five meters to secure victory. Turkey's Aysel Onder came in second with 55.19 seconds, and Ecuador's Lizanshela Angulo finished third with 56.68 seconds.
The T20 classification is for athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Deepthi’s athletic journey was also supported by the Gopichand-Mytrah Foundation, an athletics talent search program run by coach Pullela Gopichand. She has won several national-level medals in the past few years.

News from southern Africa, 10 July
The 2023 Paris World Para Athletics Championships have begun, with over 1,300 athletes from 107 nations competing in 168 medal events. IPC President Anderson Pierson has encouraged athletes to break world records during the competition.
This edition of the championships is significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the event.
A group of nine Namibian athletes with disabilities left Namibia on 4 July to attend the championships in Paris.
2. South Africa's largest labor union, COSATU, has been staging protests demanding interest rate cuts, electricity reforms, and job additions due to the country's economic challenges, including rolling blackouts, high unemployment, and soaring costs of living.
3. The U.S.-Africa Business Summit, organized by the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) and the Government of Botswana, will take place in Gaborone from July 11-14.
Over 1,000 participants are expected to attend, including government and private sector leaders from Africa and the United States.
The summit will focus on "enhancing Africa's value chains" and will explore opportunities for collaboration and investment in various sectors, including mining, agribusiness, and health.
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will also be a key topic of discussion, with the aim of increasing Africa's role in global value chains and boosting trade within the continent.
The success of the summit will be measured by the level of participation from countries, multilateral institutions, and private sector executives, as well as the ability to raise resources through sponsorships and registrations.

Peters on a Historic Paralympic Journey
The Jamaica Paralympic Association (JPA) means business in pursuing one of its known mandates of building capacity in technical officials across the spectrum of sports in enabling them to transition to the international stage.
The latest beneficiary is Sodia Peters who is creating history in Paralympic sports and will be the first Jamaican technical official in track and field to officiate at pinnacle games and arguably the first athletic official.
Selected by the JPA to pursue the WPA International Technical Official , (ITO) course in track and field, Peters looks set to clear the hurdle in late January when she will undertake a module of the course which will see her becoming internationally certified and eligible for selection for duties at international games such as the 2023 Santiago Para Pan American Games, the 2023 Paris World Para Athletics Championships, the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games and the 2024 Kobe World Para Athletics Championships.
A member of a group of twenty-three (23) persons selected from a worldwide cohort by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), Peters, whose initiation in Paralympic sports came by virtue of an appointee of the JPA in a locally held IPC sanctioned world qualifying track and field meet, said “I want to thank the JPA for recommending me and processing the application and in demonstrating continued faith in my ability.”
Meanwhile JPA President, Christopher Samuda, in reinforcing the mandate of the governing body for para sports, said: “It is business unusual in inspiring and empowering men and women to grasp horizons of opportunities in placing Jamaica in the corridors of the officialdom in sports. We have the ability and capacity to be influencers in shaping the character of sports on the field of play and Sodia is blazing the trail.”
Peters has given the assurance of her commitment to the job at hand and will continue to officiate at local para meets.
Commenting on the achievement of Peters and her pioneering prospects for the future, JPA Director, Ryan Foster, said “breaking barriers and taking your place among global achievers are lessons taught to our athletes and coaches in the Paralympic movement as part of their DNA and officials are no different.”
The JPA continues to identify technical officials and classifiers across disciplines as it pursues one of its primary strategic objectives of creating an experienced and internationally recognised cohort of Jamaican Paralympic innovators.
January, 2023.
