SHOCKING ⚠️
I just learned the reason for the baffling 🇨🇦silence at outcome of TOTALLY UNFAIR outcome of the 2016 #Olympics 800m women’s podium that featured three MALE winners, leaving #Canada’s #MelissaBishop in 4th place instead of winning 🥇 GOLD as she deserved:
A lawyer from @TeamCanada threatened #Canadian head coach @Head1Coach as follows:
“I was threatened by COC lawyers in 2016 not to speak up. If I said something I was told that I was going to be banned for life from sport.”
I do have his blessing to post this for the first time in public.

The injustice to one of our own female athletes from #Canada 🇨🇦 is breathtaking.
Our own country’s leadership would rather sellout to a cult rather than to defend one of our champions - even at the expense of waving GOODBYE to #Olympic Gold!! 🥇
Sacrificing a woman and her entire career on the alter of #GenderIdeology .
Just let that sink in. 🤯
This is on you @WorldAthletics !!
Shame on all of you.

We need both @WorldAthletics and the @iocmedia to restore justice to Canada’s #MelissaBishop immediately!
You can still do the right thing and give her the gold retrospectively like you do for doping cases.
Getting a medal in the mail isn’t great but at least it’s something.

In 2020 the Netflix documentary "Athlete A" highlights the legal proceedings against Larry Nassar and the various bodies who knew the abuse was taking place. The brave women who spoke out are currently in process of suing FBI.

Following "Athlete A" and HBO documentary "At the Heart of Gold" (2019) gymnasts in other nations began speaking out publicly to the press in numbers too big to ignore.
This widespread publicity of athlete abuse is ongoing in GB, Australia and Canada to name a few.

@taralipinski + @JohnnyGWeir: the way you both demonized the Russian child skater -- she is 15 years old -- is crass bullying. Take out your rage & outrage on the Putin Machine, not this child? You both should reach out to her, apologize & offer support. You should be ashamed.
@taralipinski + @JohnnyGWeir Have you actually heard of Vladimir Putin? I bet Valieva & her family will be punished in some way. You should be there for them instead of maximizing your public clout in misplaced outrage at a child. She's not in charge. You are adults! For shame.
@taralipinski @JohnnyGWeir I mean let me just close this loop by saying: Do you really believe that any 15-year-old Russian Olympic athlete is in charge of their own drug regimen? Do you really believe that the Russian #Olympic Machine that forced the games to allow them would take even one chance on that?

I’m finding the #WinterOlympics painful to watch
It isn’t just men’s genitalia getting pummelled, it’s women’s too
For matters of good taste, I’m not going to post the clip of the couple’s figure skating, but instead leave it to Robin Williams to explain

After a weekend of mass #Covid testing in #Beijing, there is a lot more today. Whole housing communities are being told to be tested, in some cases twice in two days. Officials at one compound told me this was not because of infected residents but as a precaution. #China

1. Tomorrow on radio I will share the letters exchanged between me and the prime minister of Pakistan. In the hour of desperate need I reached out in the hopes that some sort of leadership could be found to help us do the impossible. @ImranKhanPTI Con’t
2. We reached out and asked numerous leaders in political and civil society around the world for help. The silence was shocking as was the outpouring help on a humanitarian basis. Some calls and requests received a simple yes or no, some went unanswered but …. CON’T
3. we received an immediate response to our requests from Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan who then acted on his willingness to assist.Collectively, we transcended religious differences, political divides, national boundaries and local dynamics - it was about a humanitarian

1/🧵 Elite Black Swimmers are taking a wonderful place in Sports History!
When I was a boy, we had no Black swimmers on my AAU team. At 2015 NCAA’s, 3 Black women stood on the podium in the 100 free: Simone Manuel, Lia Neal & Natalie Hinds.

2/ The #Olympic 4x100 free relay had 2 of those women (@swimone & Natalie) on the podium wearing bronze in Tokyo. Natialie came back after quitting swimming & hough Simone was not in top 6 at trials, coaches put her in finals & she had the fastest split!

3/ About that historic 2015 NCAA’s, Maritza McClendon said of Manuel, Neal & Hinds🥇sweep: "A tear instantly came to my eyes, I couldn’t believe it. This is a true moment in history for minorities. 3 women of color take 1,2, 3 in the 100 free!”

#BREAKING Simone Biles out of US team during Olympic final
#UPDATE Biles, the four-time gold medallist at the 2016 Rio Games, produced a lacklustre opening vault and then briefly left the competition floor, before she was replaced in the three concluding routines on the uneven bars, beam, and floor
1/ We initially launched #WeHaveHerBack to call newsrooms out on the problematic media rhetoric around women candidates in the 2020 election. And after weeks of bad coverage around the Olympics, we are reminded of why we started this campaign.

2/ It only takes a quick headline search about women in leadership to see that we still have a long way to go.
We believe ALL women leaders across industries deserve to be treated equitably, which includes the way the media engages with and covers their work.
