MADISON, Wis., Nov. 11, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — According to various reports, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will stop transgender athletes from competing against women. Also, the policy will address intersex athletes.
The current policy allows each individual sport’s governing body to make their own policies governing transgender athletes. The IOC changed its leadership and now the policies are set to change.
With great support, IOC President Kirsty Coventry called for “protecting” the women’s category in June.
4 WINDS USA President Steve McConkey ministers to Olympic athletes and stands up for Christian athletes. “Thankfully, the Olympic Committee will do what is right,” states McConkey. “We started in 2003 and have seen so many different scientific conclusions that were false. The science was fake during that time, but now they have done the proper research. Thanks to everyone who supports and prays for us.”
As he ministers to Olympic athletes, Steve stands up worldwide for Christian athletes. For example, he fights against atheists trying to stop Christian activity in sports and opposes those attacking Christian athletes.
• In 2003, Steve started fighting against the International Olympic Committee’s transgender policies. He was the only person who stood against this publicly. Steve called various IOC members and was in contact with the USA Olympic Committee. From there, the transgender sports movement spread to high schools, all the way to the Olympics. Steve has fought this agenda every step of the way.
• Steve tried to sue the International Olympic Committee before the 2016 Olympics in Rio to stop the women’s 800m race. However, the lawyers said that he could not because he did not have a vested interest in the race. Steve was concerned that intersex athletes (not transgender) would sweep the race. That is exactly what happened as they had high untested testosterone levels. This was a turning point as Olympic sports organizations started to pay attention.
• In 2019, Steve asked Rasmussen polling to do a poll on transgender athletes. It was the first poll that was done on the subject in the United States. At that time, only 28% of Americans were for transgender athletes.
• In March 2022, Steve went to Washington DC to talk to elected officials. He asked them to go beyond stopping transgender athletes and to include the dangers of transgender hormones and surgeries on adolescents in future bills. Later, Steve visited forty-five elected officials at the Wisconsin Capitol and went to other state capitals giving them the same message. Afterwards, many started doing what Steve suggested nationally and at state levels. More than half the states have stopped transgender athletes. President Trump signed an executive order stopping transgender athletes.
• During the 2024 Olympics, Steve opposed the International Olympic Committee for telling the media to not use certain words to address athletes, including the words “transgender and born male or female.” Also, he provided evidence that the United Nations and the Olympic Committee work together to implement the radical 2030 Agenda.
