Remarkable Woman: KLFY's 2025 winner Brandy Roberts
Jammie Booker was disqualified for competing in the Women’s Open category while biologically male, and Andrea Thompson was declared winner, organizers said.
- On Tuesday, officials announced the disqualification of Jammie Booker and declared Andrea Thompson the winner of the Official Strongman World Championships held Nov. 20 to Nov. 23 in Arlington, Texas.
- Colton Cross and organizers cited alleged misrepresentation after Jammie Booker competed in women’s categories defined by sex recorded at birth, which OSG requires for eligibility.
- Organizers said they could not contact the competitor after the event and launched an investigation as Iron Ape removed Booker from its roster and one unnamed sponsor dropped the athlete, while critics found a years-old YouTube video attributed to Booker.
- Organizers say standings will be recalculated to reflect the finding as all Women’s Open athletes’ points and places are altered, while three-time World’s Strongest Woman champion Rebecca Roberts warned trust could be damaged.
- National coverage highlighted organisers’ admission that the weekend wasn’t transparent, and Official Strongman said it balances inclusivity with assigning athletes by sex recorded at birth.
