Tokyo 2020[edit]

Saunders is noted as the first athlete to perform a political gesture on the podium against IOC Rule 50.[1] Adding it here as it got international attention, but I am not sure it's sufficiently notable. The gesture is less obvious compared to taking of a knee or a raised fist. Solipsism 101 (talk) 18:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Solipsism 101 I think it's generally notable. I've seen coverage from most major media outlets including the NYT, WaPo, and The Guardian. Philipnelson99 (talk) 19:17, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reportedly,the gesture netted 1.8 billion social media impressions as well. 2605:A601:AF91:4800:28A0:8334:823D:1E38 (talk) 06:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
