PARIS — In a story published Sep. 1, 2024, about the Paralympics, The Associated Press erroneously reported that Italian sprinter Valentina Petrillo would be the first transgender athlete to compete at the Paralympics. The International Paralympic Committee says a transgender athlete from the Netherlands, Ingrid van Kranen, competed in the women’s discus at the 2016 Paralympics.
