Transcript
00:00 A woman won the gold medal in the World Vovinam Championships of Vietnam
00:05 for the female category.
00:07 But the Russian team protested that she's a woman.
00:10 She's not a woman.
00:11 Katrina Son has a report.
00:13 A 10-year-old national athlete,
00:20 29-year-old Hergie Tawagbakyadan.
00:23 One of her last competitions was the World Vovinam Championships of Vietnam.
00:28 She won the gold medal in the female 66 category
00:32 after defeating the Russian team.
00:34 But the Russian team protested her victory.
00:38 They were not convinced that I'm a woman.
00:40 So what they did was they stalked me.
00:43 To clarify, she was born a woman and was forced to be a trans man.
00:47 Her body was due to exercise and training.
00:51 I'm a trans man in my heart.
00:52 But of course, they were able to reverse it.
00:55 I'm still a woman.
00:56 The Philippine Vovinam Team's organizing committee
00:59 asked the competition and WVVF not to entertain the Russian protest.
01:04 Especially since it has no basis.
01:06 We practiced there because Russia said that
01:09 Hergie should be fought by a man.
01:12 Their male athlete.
01:14 Maybe we didn't see such a female issue.
01:18 It's a bit big.
01:19 He identified himself as a trans man.
01:22 He acknowledged that his DNA is still a woman.
01:27 So I think she or he has the right to join the women's category.
01:33 Russia has not yet announced anything
01:35 and WVVF is not responding to the protest.
01:39 Katrina Son reporting for Jimmy Integrated News.
