USA - The name Chelsea Wolfe is one that, just a few weeks ago, only a handful knew.
For years, Wolfe was solely known for her endeavors in the world of BMX, having featured as an alternate on the USA's women's BMX team at the Olympics in 2021.
However, in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the transgender athlete has redefined herself as one of America's most divisive figures amid a slew of social media posts that celebrated the assassination and labelled those who supported Kirk as 'Nazis'.
Despite many sporting figures condemning the murder, Wolfe was one of the few who openly welcomed his death and littered her Instagram with celebratory posts.
Her Kirk-related tirades drew shock and criticism across the nation, however, those who knew Wolfe prior to the provocative posts may not have been surprised.
That's because the transgender BMX star has a history with controversy, which began when she spoke of hopes to 'burn the American flag' at the Tokyo Olympics.
'My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a US flag on the podium. This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children,' Wolfe wrote back in 2021.
Wolfe would later explain the post in an interview with Fox News, where she stated that her comments didn't mean that she 'doesn't care about the United States'.
Wolfe, who was born a biological male but now identifies as a female, told the outlet: 'Anyone who thinks that I don't care about the United States is sorely mistaken.
'I take a stand against fascism because I care about this country and I'm not going to let it fall into the hands of fascists after so many people have fought and sacrificed to prevent fascism from taking hold abroad.
'As a citizen who wants to be proud of my home country, I'm sure as hell not going to let it take hold here.'
Just one day after her interview with Fox was published in 2021, Charlie Kirk took to X (then Twitter) to write: 'Chelsea Wolfe is a national disgrace'.
It comes as no surprise then that she re-emerged into the spotlight last week, given the fact that Kirk had previously called her out in-front of his millions of followers.
However, Jennifer Sey - founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics, which is self-described as 'the only athletic brand that stands up for women's sports' - has since given further reasoning as to why no one should not be shocked by Wolfe's vile remarks.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Sey said: 'It isn't surprising that Wolfe celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.'
