“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.
pyre@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Double Masters, gold Olympic medal, and probably younger than me to boot.
I’m not bitter, you’re bitter!

Excellent non-use of “jealous” 👌

It’s just down the hall, around a slight bend to the left. Not sure why there are lines painted in the halls of this building…hope I get there first!

Can she like chill, I’m trying to underachieve over here.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bro, she makes it easier to underachieve! Like what if you accidentally get a degree or gold medal in the Olympics? Now you can look at her and still get a dose of some sweet sweet imposter syndrome.
nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Haha I guess that’s true.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Is that her on both pictures?
Eyeuhnluuung@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes?
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Must be the lighting and angle then because I could npt see it at first
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is what on both pictures?
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 months ago
As in is that the same person on both

Yeah let’s celebrate how fast she can run. Obviously that’s the most important thing. /s
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Well it is something she can do better than any other epidemiologist. I wonder how she feels about Noah Lyles exposing everyone in his heats to COVID?
qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 8 months ago
I mean Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, but if you’re dropping into a half pipe you’re probably more likely to be listening to Smash than to his dissertation on tape…
Different contexts. She can run like stink (as in, fastest in the world), and I don’t see how that takes away from her academic achievements.
Chuymatt@beehaw.org 8 months ago
I mean, she can run really fast. It is impressive, let’s be impressed with this whole, fairly well-rounded person.
SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Sure, sure, but how far can she throw a ball?
fx3@beehaw.org 8 months ago
Not to take away from her academic achievements at all, but: Plenty of people graduate Harvard every year and receive Master degrees.
But we don’t measure who did it best out of all people on earth.
Well, Harvard might, idc. Either way, it’s also more fun to watch a bunch of people running fast than to watch them be really good in science.

Are you just going around, commenting “not a meme”?
Also, people didn’t believe me, but I knew that CPR worked.
