As a woman that can't have kids, I would be damn proud of those beauty marks. When I see women with stomachs like I automatically have respect for them. The sacrifices they make to look after a child yet still find away to compete at the Olympics. If you're a woman with a stomach like that, be proud of it.
Yet another Let’s Run post shaming women’s bodies. Surprise, surprise.
Keep em coming, incels and redpillers.
I realize it's increasingly popular to attribute all differences between groups to "racism" and the like, but this is the most intellectually lazy analysis possible. Others can play "name that residual" too--many people say all differences in average group outcomes are genetic. Their analysis is no lazier than yours, regardless of how much encouragement you get from your echo chamber.
There are people who devote careers to studying these things, and the factors behind these differences are complicated and manifold. If you genuinely want to learn about them, the economic literature is out there, and largely free to access. But the reasoning you are applying is really poor. The more people who think this way, the farther we as a society will be from solving our problems.

wtf, why doe she 'need' to wear a full length top? if she's more comfortable in the crop top and prefers that, she shouldn't have to wear a long top just cos it offends some people's delicate eyes. So her stomach is slightly crinkly - she had a baby and is an Olympic gold medalist, I'm sure she couldn't care less and has more important things to worry about.
It's gross and no one wants to see it. She should learn to follow the basic rules of social decorum. We live in a society.
She should wear whatever provides her the most advantage in the race. Her outfit is not for your entertainment.
It would be awesome if you told one of the shot putters in person that they should wear looser fitting shirts so you don't have to look at the shape of their bulging stomachs. Then we wouldn't have to read your posts anymore.
If every athlete had to wear the same kit, what would you pick?
I think I'd pick a plain singlet and boyshorts.
It's called diastasis recti -- when certain muscles separate from the abdomen during pregnancy. It's extremely common to experience some degree of ab separation during pregnancy. Kudos to her for not feeling like she has to hide the fact that her body changed as a result of pregnancy. Quite a champion!
To echo everyone else:
She's not a model she's the MF Olympic champion
Some of you are forgetting bored 15-year-olds post on these boards. Ignorance does not = racism. Don’t be so lazy to lump everyone into the latter group, you’re only hurting your cause.
And btw, I was happy she bared it. Pretty bad@ss.

Me too. I also am just interested in its progression from when I first noticed it (Doha). Getting a lot tighter! Not that it matters, but as a woman, I just like to see it and that it happens even to someone THAT fit and beautiful. babies, UGH!

Glad someone on this thread realized this. Steph Bruce also has this condition (its a bit more pronounced perhaps on her actually) and has been really outspoken about not only spreading awareness about the permanence of diastasis recti and its cause but also why she personally choses to wear certain crop tops despite her stomach's appearance.
I personally believe that these incredible women are out there giving it their all athletically while raising children and should wear whatever makes them feel the most fierce and confident during competition. The world would probably be a little bit better if people just dressed for themselves instead of worrying about others whose opinions do not matter.
You remember Stephanie Bruce, right?
Definitely noticeable! I am appreciating women in different stages of life showcasing their athleticism. I love that Faith showed her post partum belly on her way to Olympic Gold.

Really? I thought she's the 1500 Olympic Champion.

Did you see Faith Kipyegon’s tummy???
What in the world happened to her? She wasn’t pregnant or something right?
Her tummy looked like she had a botched tummy tuck..
Did it occur to you that maybe you could just ask somebody about this, like maybe your mommy, instead of posting this on LRC.
