Transgender and nonbinary middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz made history by qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after running the second fastest time ever of any American in the women’s 1500-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, emphasized the importance of the race for the LGBTQ community and expressed gratitude for the support received. This achievement adds to the progress of LGBTQ representation in sports, following athletes like Canadian soccer star Quinn who made history at the Tokyo Olympics in 2022.
