Intersex athletes
Athlete Country Sport Games Medal(s) Notes
Stanisława Walasiewicz (a.k.a. Stella Walsh) Poland Athletics 1932, 1936 Won a gold medal in 1932 and a silver medal in 1936. An autopsy discovered that Walsh was intersex; it was determined she likely did not know, and her achievements have not been expunged.[123][124][125][126][127]
Heinrich Ratjen  Nazi Germany Athletics 1936 Ratjen's sex characteristics were ambiguous from birth. Though he was raised as female, and for many years competed as "Dora Ratjen" (including at the Olympics), he said he was conscious that he was biologically male from childhood. In 1938, he was arrested and held in Hohenlychen Sanatorium for a year, being examined by SS doctors who found Ratjen to have some intersex characteristics (not just male genitalia). Upon release, he was ordered to stop participating in sport and to assume a male identity. In later life, however, Ratjen (likely erroneously) claimed that the Nazis had ordered him to pose as female in order to bring sporting glory to the nation at their home Olympics.[128][129][130]
Ewa Kłobukowska Poland Athletics 1964 Kłobukowska won a gold and a bronze medal at the Olympics.[131] She is intersex Barr body-positive, which would not preclude her from competing in women's sports. An inadequate sex verification test following her Olympic success saw her stripped of her titles and banned from competition; though later corrected, none of her achievements have been reinstated.[132][133][134][135][136]
Caster Semenya  South Africa Athletics 2016 [70][64]
