I have been waiting for a thread like this. I did not watch the Olympics, just highlights, and it seemed like every day there was a Black woman dominating...no steroids, bye Russia

#blackgirlmagic #notsorry #girlsruntheworld I'll stop w/ the hashtags but that's the only way I could think to express myself w/ this 1. Regardless of the country they are from I'm proud of them for their athletic achievements.

Track women are so BAD. Claressa Shields is beautiful and I love her smile/spirit.

Thanks for this thread, this was their Olympics. You should add more of the ladies, when you can.
Just learned about Tori Bowie from these olympics, shes's so pretty and her skin is flawless. Simone Manuel winning that gold in swimminh remains one of my fav moments.
