Somebody made a comparison between RT and Lalonde Gordon in one of the post. It was interesting. In some quarters in the US gabbys individual gold is a big thing and a breakthrough in someways. But in 1948 another Blackwoman made history for the USA. She woman a goldmedal in high jump. All think Kellogs should have a retro gold medal box for Alice?

Gabby did it in gymnastics so yes it is a big thing because what she's accomplished has never been done before

When will these episodes cease being a "big deal"?
