This is not new drama and nothing personal against Gwen, This is just qualifying for the Olympics. Also this is not Gwen’s first rodeo she is been in that situation before and she succeeded.
Lots of drama coming out of Pontevedra for the @worldtriathlon GF. None of @usatriathlon elite females want @gwenjorgensen to qualify for Paris so they’re all going to come out of the water and push the bike as hard as they can to ensure she does not make the group. 🤯

This doper has been allowed to cheat clean athletes for close to 10 years. Everyone knew and nothing was done about it. Finally got popped because of an independent agency. Triathlon looks bad in this picture by its own fault.

We have to get better at choosing our Olympic team. 50% of the athlete selection committee it’s made by people that I have never heard off and in my opinion the last spot of the men and women were chosen inconsistent like they went by two different criteria.
