Thomas' inclusion in the race has proved controversial, with some of her competitors criticising the decision to allow her to compete. Nichols, who is the former shadow minister for women and equalities, has hit back at the criticism. 👊
"Anyone trying to diminish Lia Thomas' achievement because of lazy transphobia should frankly pipe down. Huge congratulations to her."
Former British Olympian Sharron Davies criticised Nichols' comments, replying:"Disgraceful abandonment of Women's right to equal opportunities in sport, so disappointing from an MP supposedly representing females too I presume? A total misunderstanding of elite sport."I seriously question your understanding of high-level performance competition/training."

Coe told The Times:"I think that the integrity of women's sport - if we don't get this right - and actually the future of women's sport, is very fragile."
