TOKYO (AP) — For Quinn, a midfielder for the Canadian women’s soccer team, the opening match of the Tokyo Games carried more emotional weight than their previous Olympic appearances.
Quinn became the first openly transgender athlete to participate in the Olympics when they started on Wednesday night in Canada’s 1-1 draw with Japan in Sapporo.
Quinn, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, posted their feelings on Instagram.
Just say no to the Olympics.
