Great that so many athletes have signed the letter. I’ll be interested to hear if there is a response.

"Last week, Davies sent a letter to the IOC’s president Thomas Bach signed by 60 former British athletes — including 20 gold medallists — calling on the organisation to rethink its guidelines which, from 2016, have made it much easier for men who identify as women to compete in female sport."

Let's just hope that those athletes can put some pressure on and get the rules changed so that only xx females can compete in women's sports although I am not particularly hopeful given the current political climate around these issues
