Olympic shot putter Raven Saunders causes stir competing in mask and sunglasses

Raven Saunders made a splash during the women’s shot put qualification at the Paris Olympics on Thursday as the American attempts to upgrade from their silver medal at the Tokyo Games.

Saunders – who uses they/them pronouns – wore a full-face black mask and sunglasses as they attempted to make the final. Their hair was also dyed green and purple, set off with gold grills over their teeth. “I’m in full form,” Saunders said of the outfit. “I had to remind the people, I am who I am.”



Saunders, who is Black and gay, formed an “X” with their wrists on the podium when they collected their silver in Tokyo. Saunders, who has been an advocate for LGBTQ rights and mental health awareness, said the gesture represented “the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet”, adding that they hoped the medal would help “people all around the world who are fighting and don’t have the platform to speak up for themselves”.



The IOC launched an investigation into the gesture as it had banned athletes from protesting on the podium in Tokyo but Saunders was not punished.

The mental health illness issues are obvious but if it uses they/them/shit/turd and all that BS, why does it compete in the women's class?

Would be great if she had left the mask on.

Because it knows it doesn't have a prayer competing against biological men, so all of its convictions go out the window when it suits it.

Apparently that gesture has been taken by biological females and repurposed:




Turkey’s Esra Yildiz Kahraman lost every round on the judges’ scorecards against Chinese Taipei fighter Lin, who joined Algeria middleweight Imane Khelif in reaching a gold medal match at Paris 2024.

After a friendly handshake, Kahraman held the ropes open for her opponent as she exited but then went to the centre of the ring and made an ‘X’ symbol with her two fingers to all areas of the crowd.

The gesture is the same as what Lin’s last opponent Svetlana Staneva did following her points loss to the top seed but when asked to explain the signal, one of Kahraman’s team replied: “No comment.”

The X sign is thought to be a reference to female XX chromosomes.

The irony. This person believes she is so oppressed because of her race, gender and sexuality. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I wonder what she thought while watching the opening ceremony? "Wow we've come so far. Look at the world stage cater to a small percentage" ? Nope. It appears what she thought was "I need to make a statement about all this oppression . I need to be a voice, an intersection,  for all the oppressed."

People are addicted to the sympathy they get from being a perennial victim.
