Chelsea Wolfe will be traveling to the Tokyo Olympics with Team USA as an alternate in BMX racing — making history as the first trans athlete to go to the Olympics on the U.S. roster. Wolfe, who is a reserve athlete, will only officially compete in the Summer Games if one of the other two qualifying riders — Hannah Roberts and Perris Benegas — drops out. Wolfe qualified for the position last week after earning fifth place at the World Championships, reported OutSports.
