IOC says it’s looking into gesture used by U.S. athlete Saunders on podium

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The International Olympic Committee is looking into the gesture U.S. athlete Raven Saunders made after the shot put silver medallist raised her arms in an X above her head, a potential breach of rules banning protests on medal podiums.

The IOC last month relaxed its Rule 50, which had forbidden athletes from any protests. It now allows them to make gestures on the field, provided they do so without disruption and with respect for fellow competitors.However, the threat of sanctions still remain if any protests are made on the podium during the medal ceremony.“Let them try and take this medal,” Saunders said in a late night post on social media in an apparent reference to the IOC’s rules restricting protests.

Her gesture was to support the downtrodden, she indicated by retweeting an article about the action by news website theGrio. After winning the medal on Sunday morning, Saunders said she hoped to continue to inspire and motivate the LGBTQ community, African Americans, Black people around the world, and those struggling with mental health. She had previously spoken about having major issues with mental health and suffering bouts of depression.The USATF, the governing body for track and field in the United States, did not immediately respond to request for comment.

This is another symptom of lawless fashion from the entertainment industries and their uneducated goddesses.

A harmless gesture of awareness that brutal oppression exists in the world. Much of it by many countries at this olympics.

Just another attention seeker, can't win or lose with class! Who ever heard of her be4 this stunt? want 2C real class, watch the high jumpers Barshim & Tamberi from Italy & Qatar! Now that's class!

Enough: Let's cut all subsidies and grants to Olympic athletes. Let them pay their own way to their career goals of repudiation of the society that sponsors them.
