"So, all her life, everyone knows she swims, she medals.
Suddenly, now she's Black. No one knew. She's a swimmer - now she's Black.
What's next, a biologist? Sure.
Nevermind the media and her crowds..."

    ...I think she's track and field, not swimming, but I honestly can't tell if that's part of the MAGA impersonation.

    track AND field? pick one! are you track, are you field? nobody knows! i saw a photo of her literally on the field just 4 years ago. she didn't say she was track in that photo. she was on a field. now all of a sudden she became a track... person.

    That's the problem with young people these days. They think they can pick and change their play surface at any time, so you don't know who's track, who's field, who's pitch, or anything.

    And then they come at you with this "and". bullshit.

    Double Masters, gold Olympic medal, and probably younger than me to boot.

    I'm not envious, you're envious!

    Well she should, there’s no real career in being an ex-Olympic athlete unless you win a big contract or get a line of kit with your name on it. Many medals end up for sale because the athlete needs money, or because they’ve passed away and the family can’t decide what to do with it. Having a “what do I do after being an athlete?” plan is pretty important.

    Worth a double take for sure. I think it has more to do with the transition from young adulthood to being a grown woman, with access to one of the best athletic training programs in the world, and probably an image/style consultant with an eye towards parlaying the Olympics participation into a lucrative career.
