Yep -- I haven't read or heard anything that points to any rules being broken. And regardless of any personal feelings, McKinnon's accomplishment is momentous.
What I wonder is -- the current system of sport with regard to men's and women's classifications was created without consideration for transgender athletes (correct me if I'm wrong), so would it look different if it were rebuilt from the ground up today with transgender athletes' inclusion as a real consideration rather than an afterthought?
