report
“Others boycotted medal ceremonies in which they would have to share a podium with a boy who had jumped further than them.”
MISLEADING
While the claim suggests this happened in California, the specific evidence of athletes boycotting/refusing to share a podium with a transgender athlete refers to events in Oregon, not California. The California-specific results mention a 'shocking podium decision' (duplicate medals) rather than a boycott of the ceremony by the athletes.
