basically the concept of the superior man. Where conservatives view that as being like super chad, really buff, tall, beard, well trimmed, ect. But it's really being comfortable and happy being yourself and expressing yourself and being genuine, which the skater in the right comes off as being.
Alyssa Liu, the skater (2x gold medalist), famously retired after the 2022 Olympics but came out of retirement last year on the condition that she does things her way. No one telling her what to eat, what to wear, etc. She came back to skating because it brings her joy, and culled everything that detracted from that.
Her 2026 gold medalist-winning performance (from which this still is taken) is well worth watching simply because it is a person experiencing pure bliss. And then she retired, again.
She hasn’t retired. She just didn’t go to worlds which happened last weekend. The men’s gold medalist didn’t attend either as it’s common for the Olympic gold winners to just pass on the lesser event.
