Costa Rican Gymnast Does Black Lives Matter Tribute During Olympic Routine

is the first Costa Rican gymnast to EVER qualify for the Olympics ... and used her platform to shine a light on the fight for equality.

Of course, the International Olympic Committee is allowing athletes to demonstrate at the 2020 Games in Tokyo ... as long as it's not at a medal ceremony or during competition. Alvarado found of a loophole by including the gesture into her performance ... saying she wanted to send a message of"the importance of everyone treated with respect and dignity and everyone having the same rights."

Alvarado says it's special to use her stage to show those fighting for equality that she stands in solidarity with them.

Stunning ,brave

Dear people in the comments with only negative stuff to say… Just admit you’re racist already

😂😂😂

One of the worst gymnastics routines I’ve ever seen at any level and I know the sport better than most. Bad performance top to bottom.

And her days as an Olympian shall come to an end.

💛😌💛

So, she burned parts of the stadium and took the judges laptops?

DONT BET TO FIGHT OF MANNY PACMAN PACQUIAO HE USE IT AND SAID I SAID THE LOSE THE GAME OF HIM PUTANG INA MO PUTANG INA MO PUTANG INA MO

She siphoned millions of dollars from unsuspecting donors?

✊🏿✊🏿

lol…. She got her ass kicked. Maybe should have spent more time on her routine rather than her political statement.

Cringe

You mean'black power'? Olympics are a joke this year.

Representing a Leftist organization trying to destabilize the country. Fu¢k that bit¢h.

She can fit the whole racist slogan on her big ass

And they wonder why their viewership has tanked

THIS IS WHY I AM NOT WATCHING!

Awesome

A much more likely path to fame and fortune than even winning a gold medal.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

I don't get it. She wants Costa Rica to be a Marxist organization to.

Thank you sista.
