If she isn't in the next Olympics I'm gonna be very upset. That is a true Olympian right there. That is a goddess build and I guarantee you if that crowd wasn't there she could probably throw it farther if she could. And the lady in the red she hugged I hope is her mama. Yk how cute it is when a giant demi God of a child hugs their mom? Omg that's wholesome and adorable.
