Nikki Hiltz, transgender, nonbinary runner, qualifies for Olympics: ‘This is bigger than just me’

New York Times  

The biggest race of Nikki Hiltz’s career is coming soon, but the middle-distance runner who identifies as transgender and nonbinary said that racing to a spot on the U.S. Olympic team held a special significance because it came at the end of Pride Month. Hiltz, 29, whose sex was assigned as female at birth, earned a ticket to the Paris Games with a meet-record time of 3:55.33 in the women’s 1500-meter final of the U.S. Olympic trials on June 30. Track and field’s governing body, World Athletics, adopted new rules last year, effectively barring athletes who have transitioned from male to female and have gone through male puberty from competing in women’s divisions. Before cruising to the Olympic trials 1500-meter record, Hiltz also posted an American record time in the women’s mile back in July 2023 with a 4:16.23 run at Herculis, a Diamond League meet in Monaco.
