Raven Saunders is back, and she is already causing a major stir for several reasons.<\/p>\n
U.S. shot putter Raven Saunders was on the field Thursday and qualified for the Olympic final while rocking a full-faced black mask and gold-hued sunglasses.<\/p>\n
Her hair was also dyed neon green on one side and purple on the other.<\/p>\n
She also had gold grills covering her upper and lower teeth. She also added bedazzled long fingernails in Team USA colors and the letters H-U-L-K.<\/p>\n
Her eccentric outfit was the first thing that went viral, but it wasn\u2019t the only thing.<\/p>\n
A BBC commentator had to correct her co-host after he accidentally misgendered Raven Saunders.<\/p>\n
Team G.B. long jumper Jazmin Sawyers, who is commentating for the BBC, had to quickly rectify her colleague Steve Backley\u2019s language after he accidentally referred to the shot putter with an incorrect pronoun.<\/p>\n
\nMore gender madness at the Olympics in the women\u2019s shot put. The host introduces Raven Saunders, saying \u201cit\u2019s good to see her back\u201d.<\/p>\n
He is promptly corrected by his co-host, saying \u201cthey are actually non-binary\u201d.<\/p>\n
