Simone Biles

[Anonymous]

While I respect Simone for defending her friends after the other gymnast made nasty comments about them, her caption left me feeling kind of cold about her. She didn't have to fire back. The other girl is a has-been

But I am wondering what everybody else feels about the big fake eyelashes? (Track and field women wear them too). It just looks stupid to me.......... but am getting use to it.

What do you think?

It looks like spiders are on their eyelids!

I think you don't understand people different than you have different cultures and dress and style differently than you. You don't have to like every style every culture has.

Oh. (Looking you up and down)

Which culture are the Kardashian lashes from? and don’t try to say Armenian.

I’m confused. Aren’t our Olympic athletes quite literally representing… the United States of America? Isn’t that our culture?

Sorry you're confused
But no, the culture in NYC is different than the culture in Austin, San Francisco, Duluth, Miami, Salt Lake City, Nashville just to name major cities so there is no confusion.
But all are American, just variations

Still not clear? Maybe we start by defining the word "culture" so we're on the same page

I didn’t get to watch the previous Olympics but have access this year and I’ve been loving the gymnastics! Simone Biles is AMAZING as is Suni Lee. Such a great team and I loved seeing actual adult women winning a lot of the trophies — no shade to the teenagers I just worry about what we’re doing to kids when the top athletes in a sport are 15 or 16.

Yes. Do that. Also explain what it means to compete for the United States of America in international competition, as opposed to representing NYC or Miami or Duluth in national competition.

You first, since this seems to be a "you" issue

She is 4’8” That is the size of an average (50th percentile)prepubescent 10 yr old and even several inches shorter than the average high level gymnasts. But with the muscle development of a grown woman. Of course she would be able to get more rotations in and just about every event is easier, the shorter you are.

+1 so unnatural! And unnecessary. They are beautiful without this overdone clown look.

Sunni Lee’s coach said while we now think :
“Simone will get a gold anyway, its normal for her ”

it is not.”

Weird response. You’re the one who brought it up.

Hint: when one is representing one’s *country*, one is representing the “culture” of one’s *country*. Not one’s city, or neighborhood, or group of friends.

Same - it was classy to reply in real time but a bit much to focus on it after winning good
