US Shot Putter Saunders Makes Bold Fashion Statement

Paris – US shot put star Raven Saunders once again turned heads at the Olympics, this time with a striking outfit during the semifinals. Sporting a black face mask and colorful sunglasses, Saunders qualified for the final with a throw of 18.62 meters.

The athlete has a history of making bold fashion choices, often using masks to complement their distinctive style. Saunders explained that their aim is to inspire others, especially young athletes, to express themselves freely.

“I want to encourage other women to push their own styles,” Saunders said after qualifying. “We deserve that spotlight as well.”

Saunders, who won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, is known for their activism. After the Tokyo medal ceremony, they made a powerful gesture, crossing their arms in an X to symbolize the intersection of oppression.

The athlete expressed confidence ahead of the final, stating they are in a “great headspace” and dedicated to those who supported them through difficult times.
