I don’t get why there were any complaints about her hair during the games– she wore it like all the other women did for competition. I didn’t see anyone with a style any more elaborate than a ponytail or a bun held up with a scrunchie. And really, did people not think that she ever wore her hair differently? My hair when I’m working out and my hair when I’m going out does not look the same.
