Transgender Athlete Looks to Qualify in Hammer - NYTimes.com

An incredible story is unfolding this week in the preface for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Keelin Godsey — a transgender man — is competing in the women’s hammer throw at the US Olympic trials. He may become the first transgender athlete to qualify for the United States team.
