Competed in the open male category while well into T suppression. Switched to elite female over one Christmas and started winning


That’s a direct comparison of a T-suppressed male with male-relative data, then female-relative data.

  Elite but not international male. Compared to Rio 2016 volleyball cohort, 35%ile height, 12%ile weight. So small/light for a male volleyballer. Abreu is now, compared with females, 94%ile height and 95%ile weight. So tall/heavy for a female volleyballer.


 In their first season as woman, Abreu broke the Brazilian female record for most points scored in a match.


 Abreu is ranked in the Brazil elite female category. This is achieved by accruing performance points. There are only a handful of players of the same ‘rank’. Owing to restrictions on how many different teams can be represented in this ‘Hall of Fame’, Abreu’s ascension displaced *two* international female volleyballers.


 Abreu was never selected for the male Brazil national squad. Widely (and reasonably) assumed to be a sure-fire Tokyo pick in the female team.


By switching category Abreu has gained an advantage simply from their height and weight (ignoring any other markers of physiology).
