“When she blew up the fire extinguisher, the opponents have disappeared,” he said. “It was our moment of celebration, and CIF officials succeeded.

The decision to revoke the teenager’s title has been strongly criticized online, in particular by militants of women’s rights who stressed that ADAMS had been stripped of his title while a trans biologically male athlete was able to compete and win two titles.

Ab Hernandez, representative Jurupa Valley High School, took first place in the height jump of the girls and the triple jump, while taking second place in the leap in long.
The controversy involving Hernandez put the whole event under the national microscope, but Adams was the only female athlete who moved away from the meeting with an important penalty.
