Huh? That guy is cool because of his lore and his attitude. We don't care if he is male, female an alien or whatever. We don't care if he won a medal, a diploma or a 5$ discount on a supermarket.
He is relevant because this guy went shooting into an olimpic event with a normal guy vibe wearing his prescription glasses and one hand in the pocket, while other olimpic teams wear all kind of complex sighting aparatus for this events. Plus his story lore of how he became olimpic shooter is hilarious.
His teamate could be Erdogan, Beyonce, Taylor Swift. NOT RELEVANT.
So what? He has a female in his team? Okay.
I know this is increasingly accepted, but 'female' is actually an adjective. You could say 'has a female athlete' or even just 'has a lady', but the current wording is a bit off.
Normally "female" is more used in clinical settings or about not-human animals. One reason it gives off incel energy is it reduces a person to what genitals they have.
To be fair, in English most adjectives can also be used as nouns. I suppose I should have said that in this context, using it as an adjective is inappropriate.
