In #JordanChiles' #case, #IOC has #precedent to hand out two #bronzemedals
In #stripping #JordanChiles of her #bronzemedal, the #IOC is not following the #precedent it set for itself.
#JordanChiles' #case is #unusual. Most returned #Olympicmedals are for #cheating.
Throughout #history, dozens of #athletes have been forced to return their #accolades, usually because they have failed a #dopingtest after stepping off the #podium.

#Turkish #Politician #claims #Olympic #volleyball #team with #LGBTQ #players doesn’t #represent his #nation.
With at least one #out #LGBTQ #athlete, this #country had its best #Olympic #volleyball #finish ever. Yet somehow it's a problem for this #homophobic #dude.
These #Ceremonies are presented like a #Kitsch #Cult.
I really get no #Connection to it. #Sports is a billion dollar #Industry with very strange #Rules. I don't get over they #deported homeless People. It's a fucking #Crime.
