'Maybe the men are scared to be beaten by the girls': Olympian Erin Hamlin on sexism in sports

During the Opening Ceremony for the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, four-time Olympian Erin Hamlin led Team USA in the Parade of Nations. Despite Shani Davis expressing his frustration for losing the honor in a coin toss on Twitter, the most decorated U.S. singles luge slider in history didn’t let the backlash get her down, smiling throughout the entire event. “I’ve never felt held back because I am a woman,” Hamlin says — except for the time at a race when the women got kicked out of the start for no reason.
