There have been 710 modern Olympians[a] (including Paralympians, Summer Olympic athletes and artists, and Winter Olympians) who have identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, non-binary, queer, and/or having an intersex condition, or who have openly been in a same-sex relationship. The first Olympic Games in which an athlete now known to be LGBT+ competed was the 1900 Summer Olympics, also the first LGBT+ Olympic medalist and first contemporaneously out Olympian.[b] The 1932 Summer Olympics was the first instance of an athlete now known to be intersex competing, also winning a medal.[c] LGBTI+ Olympians have contested events across over 60 sports, as well as several artistic events. The majority of LGBTI+ Olympians are female. The Olympic sport with the most LGBTI+ participants is football. The nation with the most out LGBTI+ Olympians is the United States, including two who have also competed for other nations.[a]

The most decorated LGBTI+ Olympian is British Paralympic equestrian Lee Pearson, with 17 medals including 14 golds;[d] the most decorated able-bodied LGBTI+ Olympian is Dutch speed skater Ireen Wüst, with 13 medals including 6 golds;[e] the most decorated able-bodied LGBTI+ Summer Olympian is Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe, with 9 medals including 5 golds.[b] LGBTI+ Olympians who hold Olympic records include Wüst;[f] footballers Pia Sundhage and Vivianne Miedema;[g] rower Emma Twigg;[h] and triple jumper Yulimar Rojas, who also holds the world record.[i] At least 320 LGBTI+ Olympians are medalists (45.07% of LGBTI+ Olympians), of which 149 have at least one gold medal (20.99%).[j]

## Intersex athletes[edit]

Main article: List of intersex Olympians

Athletes with disorders of sex development (DSD) may be known as intersex, with the terms often understood interchangeably; the term "hermaphrodite" is now widely discredited.[383] DSDs are congenital conditions affecting the reproductive system, in which development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is atypical.[384] As a biological status, intersex people may identify as heterosexual and cisgender. However, significant overlap with the LGBT community[385][386] and "shared experiences of harm arising from dominant societal sex and gender norms" has led to intersex people often being included under the LGBT umbrella, with the acronym sometimes expanded to LGBTI.[387] While intersex people face specific issues that LGBT people do not,[388] in sports they are often considered alongside transgender athletes who have transitioned, with similar barriers to participation.[389] The athletes listed below may or may not associate with the LGBT or LGBTI community.

* Barbra Banda[390][391]
* Dutee Chand[392][k]
* Érika Coimbra[393][394]
* Imane Khelif[395]
* Ewa Kłobukowska[396]
