Star swimmer Maddie Groves withdraws from Olympics as lesson to ‘misogynistic perverts’

The silver medallist said her decision to pull out of Olympic trials should ‘make them pervs quake in fear’

Groves has made similar allegations in the past. In November last year, she alleged a person she worked with had made her feel “uncomfortable” by the way they looked at her in her swimming suit.


Giving up the Olympics because a guy looked at you. That’s so pathetic. But, are you sure he was actually looking at you? OT 3 at best.

Why would that scare anyone?

I'm going to go ahead and say "nope" to that. Swimmers don't give a frick. The dudes aren't thinking about the girls they swim with like that and the girls aren't thinking people are looking at them like that. They spend 4+ hours a day training for years not thinking about anything but how bad practice is going to hurt and suck.

Anybody at a high caliber isn't skipping out on the Olympics. There's something else going on behind all of this. She's either past her prime and doesn't want to get embarrassed or she's a nut job.

So she gave up on her own Olympic career to really show some random people?

What a dumbass.

There has to be more to the story. If not, she takes the title as the stupidest human being on the planet. And that is saying a lot!

She probably can’t win so she’s going for fame.
