A 17-year-old student was tripped of a win last week because an official ruled her suit “exposed too much of her buttocks”
Photo: Erik Isakson/Getty Images/Tetra images RF A school district in Anchorage, Alaska, has decided to reverse a decision to penalize a teen swimmer for her bathing suit, after a controversial move to strip the student of a win last week because an official ruled her suit “exposed too much of her buttocks,” per the Washington Post.
The decision made waves in the community not only because male swimmers are rarely ever scrutinized for their suits, but because Willis is a mixed-race athlete in a predominantly white sport, and was the only swimmer singled out on a team of young women wearing identical suits.
