Say hello to Kulsoom Abdullah, Pakistani-American #Weightlifter currently competing in the #Olympics2012 #weightlifting (Taken with Instagram)

Whye images like this not getting more reblogs? Oh, right, because too many people are squealing about Ryan Lochte or Sam What’s-His-Face-Gymnast or Tom Daley.  That’s fine.  I’ve done my share, and those are some dudes.  But WHY IS A SUCH A HUGE BASE OF TUMBLR FANS NOT REBLOGGING PHOTOS LIKE THIS?  I went through the “olympics” tag for a good hour at a fast pace and saw nothing like this.  Nothing.  (Granted this isn’t from the olympics, but I couldn’t find similar images amid the mass of male gymnasts and swimmers.)  THIS IS THE FIRST OLYMPICS IN WHICH EVERY NATION HAS SENT AT LEAST ONE FEMALE REPRESENTATIVE.  Celebrate it, ladies. Remember it. It matters.  It’s special.  Gorgeous women like this one are special.  Not just ones in sporty bikini bottoms playing beach volleyball.  They are special too.  But they’re not the only ones.  Show off these female athletes of all shapes, sizes, colors, orientations, and nationalities.  They deserve it.  They earned it.
