Team USA has responded to an American transgender BMX cyclist who shared a series of social media posts celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of Donald Trump, was shot and killed while hosting a Q&A event with students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The police now have a suspect, Tyler Robinson, in custody.
The 31-year-old had been debating the issue of mass shootings involving transgender people with a student in the moment before he was shot dead, sending shockwaves across the globe.
Despite many sporting figures condemning the murder, Chelsea Wolfe, who featured as an alternate on the USA's women's BMX team at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, openly welcomed the assassination.
Team USA issued a response to Wolfe's sickening posts on Friday afternoon. They said: 'The views of current and former national team athletes are their own and do not reflect those of USA Cycling.
'Chelsea Wolfe has not been a member of the USA Cycling National Team or a member of USA Cycling since 2023.'
