Another gender row at the Olympics: BBC host uses wrong pronouns for ‘non-binary’ US athlete

A BBC host was corrected live on air when he repeatedly used the wrong pronouns to welcome American shot putter Raven Saunders at the Paris Olympics 2024. Raven Saunders, 28, identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns “they/them.” On Thursday, they appeared on field for the qualifying round in the women’s shot put at the Paris Olympics. BBC Olympics commentator Steve Backley repeatedly misgendered Saunders as “her” during the coverage of Thursday’s women’s shot put qualifying in the Stade de France, Paris, reported Deadline. “More gender madness at the Olympics in the women’s shot put… If they’re not a woman, why are they in the women’s competition?” asked X user James Esses.
