A man entered in the finals for the 400-meter race at the USA Track and Field Open Masters Championships in New York has won the event.

That was assured because he was the only competitor in the race.

A report from the Post Millennial explains how Sadie Schreiner, a man, took first place when two women who were qualified to compete against him refused to participate.

The report said the other competitors were scheduled to include Anna Vidolova, 17, and Amaris Hiatt, 16.

The report explained they refused to compete against the 21-year-old man.

The report explained, "Schreiner previously came under fire while competing for Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) after breaking numerous records in the 2023-24 indoor season. In the 2024 outdoor track season, Schreiner won multiple women's races in times that would have seen the athlete place last among the men."

When Schreiner competed in the 200-meter race, he was not alone, but there were multiple competitors who were marked DNS, for "Did Not Start."

The report said under USATF policy, men are allowed to compete in women's races under the requirements laid out by the International Olympic Committee.

That organization, however, has been warned by the administration of President Donald Trump that when the Olympics are scheduled for Los Angeles in a few years, athletes who are found to be planning to compete as transgenders will be barred from U.S. soil.

The NCAA, which previously allowed men in women's events, now has reversed course after Trump issued an executive order that the nation now recognizes only two sexes, male and female.

That particular result left Schreiner outside looking in at collegiate events, and he complained, "They are hearing word that I was assigned male at birth and that is enough for them to ban any athlete they want to."

Social media had little sympathy for Schreiner.
