5 OLYMPIC GOLD RINGS

Obviously, five rings reminds us of the Olympic Games earlier this year, and gold reminds us of Olympic champions. I think it would be unfair to single out just 5 of this year’s lgbt champions, so I’ll list them all (as known so far) and use the Olympic rings to represent our Christmas gift of 5 gold rings.

Nicola Adams

GB : women’s 51kg boxing

Instantly entered the record books as the first champion in Olympic women’s boxing

Seimone Augustus

USA : Women’s basketball

Carl Hester

GB : Equestrian team dressage

Megan Rapinoe

USA : women’s football

Marilyn Agliotti,

Carlien Dirkse van den Heuvel,

Kim Lammers, and

Maartje Paumen

Netherlands : women’s hockey

And a special mention goes to:

Lee Pearson

GB : paralympic equestrian team dressage

This 10^th gold paralympic medal for Lee puts him at the top of the Olympic/Paralympic lgbt champions list.
