Olivia Breen Calls Out English Championship Official s Inappropriate Comment By Cortney Drakeford The delayed Tokyo Olympics have been plagued by coronavirus concerns
Double Paralympic world champion Olivia Breen called out an official at the English Championships for criticizing the length of her sprint briefs after she participated in the long jump competition.
On Sunday, Breen took to Twitter to share her disappointment after a female official approached her and said the sprint briefs she was wearing were “too short and inappropriate.”
“I was left speechless. I have been wearing the same style sprint briefs for many years, and they are specifically designed for competing in. I will hopefully be wearing them in Tokyo,” she explained.
We are entitled to wear what we are given and what we can wear, she added.
The Paralympian said remarks like those from the official on Sunday could ruin confidence and self-esteem of younger female athletes. For me it just made me angry. If I was 16 or something it would make me burst into tears, said Breen, who believes officials need to be provided with better guidance on using appropriate language when dealing with Paralympians. They need to treat us with respect and not make us feel like rubbish.
Double standard
The athlete who also won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Paralympics called out the apparent double standard in her Twitter post, saying the experience made me question whether a male competitor would be similarly criticized. I hope no other female athletes had similar issues.
