USA women’s Rugby won their first ever Olympic medal yesterday, defeating Australia for the bronze medal. I’ve got some hard-hitting questions following this game changing win.
Did Ilona Maher find love in the villa after getting a medal? Her social media is amazing, rizz is off the charts, no cap, as the kids say. She has made it very well known that she is looking for a man in the Olympics, 6’5, blue eyes, Olympic medal.
Did Jason Kelce buy all the drinks last night? I’m probably going to tell most of this story through Ilona’s social media. But seriously Jason, did you buy all the drinks last night?
Did Jason Kelce buy so many drinks that Ilona slept on a beanbag chair last night? Or did someone help her out of the beanbag chair so they could go for a chat and just talk about how much good banter they have instead of actually talking about anything.
But on a serious note, who is Michele Kang and why is she so awesome? She just gave US Women’s Rugby $4,000,000 out of nowhere to help them increase the popularity of women’s rugby in the US and help them prepare to do even better in LA28.
“In rugby, we say we’re just passing through the jersey and making the jersey better, and that’s always been my goal—to make this jersey better, not just for me but for the other girls that are going to come into the program. And I want them to dream… of being professional rugby players—professional athletes. That’s what I feel like I’m giving them.” – Ilona Maher
So congrats team. I’m excited to see what Ilona gets up to in the Olympic village now that she’s done competing.
Also, here is a link to the Gold Medal New Zealand team doing the Haka. Pink scrunchies were involved. They are going to be difficult to beat in 2028 but it will be fun to watch!
