BBC commentator confused after Olympian makes x-rated gesture to celebrate bronze medal
Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman won a bronze medal in the women’s competition.
This was the first time her country reached the Olympic podium in this event.
As she approached the camera, she performed a celebratory dance. However, what followed left many in shock.
Newman made a twerking that was caught on live television, leading to immediate reactions from those watching.
The BBC commentator covering the event had a short but confused reaction to Newman’s unusual celebration.
He said, “I’m not sure about that celebration.”
The BBC commentator, covering the event, seemed caught off guard by Newman’s actions.
The commentator’s initial reaction was one of confusion, as they struggled to find the right words to describe what had just happened.
The Olympian is an OnlyFans star
Newman is no stranger to such adult-oriented content, however.
In addition to her athletic career, the Canadian is an OnlyFans model.
She shares explicit content with her subscribers on the popular adult platform.
Even with an Olympic bronze medal around her neck, Newman still wanted to add some of her OnlyFans style to the event.
After her Olympic success, Newman posted on her OnlyFans page to thank her subscribers for their support.
She expressed her happiness about her achievement and shared how thrilled she was.
“I did it! So happy to announce that I am taking home the BRONZE MEDAL and set a new NATIONAL RECORD for Canada. I am still buzzing from the energy!!!
“Thank you guys so much for sharing this moment with me, might pick up some presents for you guys before I leave,” she wrote.
Social media reaction
The x-rated gesture quickly became a talking point on social media, with opinions divided.
Some people thought the celebration was inappropriate for the Olympic stage.
They argued that the Olympics is watched by millions, including families and young children.
Others defended Newman, saying she was just showing her joy in a special way.
They believed athletes should celebrate their victories however they want.
There is so much inappropriate in this Olympics. They represent countries. Should strip medals and send home, one user said.
The BBC are in no position to criticise anyone !!!!!!!! The second user commented.
Some viewers didn’t win a bronze medal in the Olympics so it doesn’t matter what they think lol, the third user said.
The opening ceremony should have told everyone everything they needed to know about the Olympics, another wrote.
Some people need to grow up and stop being vile creature snowflakes.
Olympic achievement; congratulations to all those who took part! Someone said.
