"It is happening literally everywhere": Navratilova continues to criticise and show frustration on transgender athletes in sport with powerlifting video
WTA
Legendary tennis star Martina Navratilova has once again
raised her objection regarding the participation of transgender athletes in
women's sports.
The 66-year-old, who is termed as one of the best women’s
singles players in the Open era, expressed her views while retweeting a video where
seemingly a male athlete was allowed to participate in the women’s category as
a transgender.
Navratilova ended her illustrious career in 2006 after
playing 32 years at the highest level in both singles and doubles categories.
The Prague-born ended up winning as many as 20 Grand Slams in
the women’s singles category.
Her most successful competition was Wimbledon where she left
the title seven times — 1978, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and
1990.

On the other hand, her performances have been the least
impressive while playing at the French Open where she won the competition just
two times — in 1982 and 1984.
Navratilova also went on to win a staggering 31 doubles Grand
Slams in her career. Her most successful in the doubles category was the US
Open where she won it nine times — 1977, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987,
1989 and 1990.
