Your thinly veiled bigotry is still just bigotry, despite hiding it behind a strawman

          No, I have never heard of her.

          Queen of the blades? That sounds like some B list super hero or villain, lol.

          P.S. after reading the list again, I also recognized Anna. I believe that she is/was a chess player.

            Close. She’s a villanous character from the video game Starcraft. Her title “Queen of the Blades” never made sense to me, until I learnt she was named after the figure skater.

      Which four?

      The Williams sisters are obvious.

      Kournikova, Strug, Kerrigan, and Harding I know just from having grown up in America in the 90s. They were all very famous for very, very different reasons.

      Clark is super famous right now, as is Biles. Biles is more famous by me because she’s from my home city. Ledecky I know because my family follows Olympic swimming. Kwan’s name just stuck in my brain for some reason.

      If I had to think of an eleventh athlete, it’d take me a while. There’s another gymnast I could come up with, I’m sure. That really old one.
