Kimberly Daniels is at the Tokyo Olympics to judge canoeing slalom, where her daughter Haley is representing Canada in an event newly introduced at the Games as a bid for greater gender equality.
But now Daniels worries she may steal the spotlight herself with the attention she is drawing as an openly transgender Olympic judge.
The IOC does not have any restrictions on transgender judges or transgender male athletes. A 2015 decision allows transgender women to compete in women's events if their testosterone levels have tested below 10 nanomoles per litre for at least a year. Daniels, whose role model is transgender celebrity and Olympic gold medallist Caitlyn Jenner, says she has mixed feelings about transgender women competing in some women's events.
