Trans skateboarder who won first prize against teen is a combat vet, dad who was rejected from the Olympics

Fox Across America host Jimmy Failla joins "America's Newsroom" to share his thoughts on the transgender skateboarder who was allowed to compete against young female skaters.

The 29-year-old biological male who came in first place at a New York women's skateboarding competition is a father of three and a combat veteran who was previously rejected from the Olympics for having too much testosterone.

Ricci Tres, who also goes by Ricci And Tres, won over Shiloh Catori, a 13-year-old girl who is ranked 133rd in the Boardr Global Ranks, which are based on performance in skateboarding competitions. Tres, by comparison, sits at 838 in the rankings.

Tres took the top title in the women's division of The Boardr Open, taking home $500.
