As if all the time, energy, money, sweat, tears, injuries and sacrifices made by the 16 year-old athlete, and her family, to successfully train for this occasion isn’t enough, and apparently it’s not enough for some people,* and you know who you are.* There are, as always, “some” who are envious, “they” are finding fault, and talking about her hair.
