Fairness in women's competitions became a focal issue worldwide as sports bodies reviewed eligibility standards. Under Coventry's leadership, the IOC oversaw extensive discussions on transgender participation and women's events, establishing expert and international federation working groups to reassess the qualification criteria. In 2025, international federations including World Boxing and World Athletics introduced genetic testing to confirm athletes' biological sex, aiming to strengthen fairness and transparency in women's competitions.
