West does not mean best

On the last day of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, I was excited to see that the United States had passed China for the most gold medals won. It was a reassurance that the US was still superior on the world stage of international athletics. After all, dominance is what we have been accustomed to, but it was surprising to not see the gymnastics teams in first place or see the men’s track and field team win just one gold. It was also disappointing. As one of my good friends put it, “no one is more patriotic than they are during the Olympics.” Myself included.

Loss, because I reflect on how navigating those stereotypes was part of my college experience.  And I always wished it hadn’t been that way.
