Overview
- Elis Lundholm, a transgender man from Sweden, is competing in the women's moguls under current IOC guidance and FIS rules that permit participation without masculinizing hormone therapy.
- Lundholm finished 25th overall in qualifying after a first-run score of 12.05 for 29th place, and he did not advance to the final in Livigno.
- NBC said the misgendering occurred on an international feed with non-NBC commentators streamed on Peacock, issued a formal apology, and removed the replay and related footage from its platforms.
- Commentary on the feed repeatedly used she/her pronouns during Lundholm’s run, with lines captured in coverage such as, “oh she just skids out of that gate,” despite Lundholm using he/him pronouns.
- Discussion over future eligibility rules continues as the FIS considers genetic testing and the IOC signals potential tightening of categories, which reporters note would not retroactively affect Lundholm’s eligibility.
