U.S. shot putter Raven Saunders twerked for the cameras on Sunday after her last throw to take second at the Tokyo Olympics.

Saunders put her arms over her head to form the shape of an “X” on the Olympic podium to protest for the oppressed and the LGBT community, the athlete said.

The shot putter was praised online by blue checks, though many commenters found the gesture of so-called twerking, or shaking one’s rump, disrespectful while on stage representing the U.S.
