'This Is Not Progress,' Swimmer Riley Gaines Says of Men Competing in Women's Sports

Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American and three-time Southeastern Conference champion, gained national attention last year after she tied with male swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200 freestyle at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships. Despite tying with Thomas, Gaines says she was told the trophy would go to Thomas for “photo purposes.”

Gaines sits down with The Daily Signal at The Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss the ways she is fighting to protect women's sports.
