Good to see her back in a fun spot. She seems to be one of the few athletes who performed best under the big S. a rare feat (I know, she isn’t under Spesh Factory now, but still)

Doesn’t improve my ‘cool and independent’ rating for them. They are a bit too involved in creating rumours (or should we call it fake news?)
