MAKAYLA GERKEN-SCHOFIELD is adamant that the voices of LGBTQ+ athletes must be heard as she prepares to make her Winter Olympic debut in the women’s moguls competition in Zhangjikou on Thursday.
The 22-year-old came out as pansexual last year, and says she is undaunted by the host nation’s warnings of “punishment” for speaking out on sensitive issues.
