Like I said before, she should have never made the team. Totally more woke than competitive.
Gwen Berry, hammer thrower who turned away from US flag, fails to medal at Olympics
By Jared Greenspan August 3, 2021 | 9:51am | Updated
Gwen Berry failed to medal during the women’s hammer throw finals on Tuesday. Berry finished in eleventh place out of twelve competitors, registering a distance of 71.35 meters.
The 32-year-old caused a stir during the medal ceremony at the Olympic trials in June. After winning a bronze medal during the event, Berry faced the stands rather than the American flag, holding up a shirt that read “Activist Athlete.”
Afterward, Berry said she was “pissed” that “The Star-Spangled Banner” played during the celebration.
