The weeks after the Olympics are typically a time for reflection. Athletes can look back on successes and near misses before taking the time to plan for their next major tournament or call time on a demanding career.
This year there have been a few headlines that have had tongues wagging across social media. The Australian breaking competitor Rachael “RayGun” Gunn caused quite a stir with her performances, and the argument has rumbled on with many questioning her suitability to represent her country in this field.

He also caused controversy by questioning Anthony Edwards being awarded a signature sneaker deal with Adidas when he feels he is just as, if not more worthy of one.
The latest controversy was sparked by Tyreek Hill’s comments on the ‘Up & Adams’ podcast where he said that Lyles should stick to what he knows, before being asked whether he thought he could beat him in a race.
Hill claimed he would beat the Olympian in a race, he was also critical of Lyles’s Bronze medal performance in the 200m, saying that his Covid diagnosis sounded like an excuse.
Lyles responded by referring to him as “that cheetah guy from football”, claiming…
