Winter Olympics 2014: USA to send two openly gay sportswomen to Sochi, including Billie Jean King


The United States presidential delegations for the Winter Olympics in Sochi will include two openly gay sportswomen, sending a defiant message over Russia's anti-gay laws.

Former tennis star Billie Jean King and two-time ice hockey medallist Caitlin Cahow will attend the opening and closing ceremonies respectively.

The host nation's president Vladimir Putin passed a law in June prohibiting 'propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors', which has been widely condemned.

The inclusion of King, in particular, and Cahow has been viewed as a challenge to the controversial legislation and a White House statement reported by USA Today said the delegation "represents the diversity that is the United States".

Cahow told the newspaper: "It's obviously a statement that's being made, but I think it's an incredibly respectful one.

"Basically, the White House is highlighting Americans who know what it means to have freedoms and liberties under the constitution. That's really what we're representing in Sochi and it's not at all different from what's espoused in the spirit of Olympism.

"So I think it's just a great group of people. I can't believe I've been named one of them because it's a remarkable roster and I just think that we're going to represent what the best America can be. Hopefully, it will unify all of Team USA and send a message of love and acceptance to the world."

Andre Banks, the executive director of gay rights group All Out, added: "It's hard to look at this delegation without seeing it as a criticism of Putin's anti-gay laws.

"What it's doing is showing the true power of the Olympics, the ability to move people, to change people's minds and open them up to new ways of thinking. The delegation is shining a light on the values of the Olympics."

The delegation for the opening ceremony will be led by University of California president Janet Napolitano and will also feature Michael McFaul, the United States ambassador to the Russian Federation, deputy chief of staff for policy Robert Nabors, 1988 Olympic figure skating champion Brian Boitano and King.

For the closing ceremony, McFaul and Cahow will be joined by five-time speed-skating gold medallists Bonnie Blair and Dr Eric Heiden in a delegation led by deputy secretary of state William Burns.

That means that for the first time, the US delegations will not include the president, first lady or vice-president, with the White House's statement adding that President Obama's schedule will not allow him to travel to Sochi.

"President Obama is extremely proud of our US athletes and looks forward to cheering them on from Washington," it read. "He knows they will showcase to the world the best of America - diversity, determination and teamwork."

Putin has already said Gay people are invited to The Winter Olympics and they will be made to feel welcome, Obama is firing blank shots.

[MTVN]

Never really follow the sports outside the games so no idea who's expected or going to do well but looking forward to it, bit of a shame that that ^ is gonna overshadow it all really

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) says it may take disciplinary action against Heather Mills after alleging she "verbally abused" and "physically harassed" an official.
Mills, who lost the lower half of her left leg in 1993, said on Monday she would not ski at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics after the IPC ruled her equipment had not been ratified.
The IPC claims Mills went into a "wild tantrum" after being given the news and could now be fined. Her coach says there is a "vendetta" against her.
IPC skiing committee head Sylvana Mestre told BBC Sport that the 45-year-old Mills had acted entirely improperly.

[BigSister]

[MTVN]

This downhill ski course is crazy, amazing they can keep it together bombing down there at such speeds

[King Gizzard]

Jenny Jones supports Villa as well

Oh you evil Swedish bitch.

British girl falling over on her first run, best of two runs though so will be all on her second run

[MTVN]

Commentators are muppets, going mental for her second run and saying she'd definitely be in the medals then she only got 6th :fist: a good effort from her though

[Vanessa]

I don't think she'll get the medal. Not enough points.

Italy way behind. :joker:

Germany completely bottling their last easy shot in the curling to gift us a 7-6 win :smug:

[Calderyon]

Disappointing day for us finns. Sprint went sh*t, halfpipe was dreadful and very bad luck on biathlon. Hopefully in the women´s skijump we soar. (But not likely)

Brits did good on the women´s curling today. A win and trashing of USA 12-3 in the second game :shocked:

[MTVN]

Half pipe final now, Shaun White's just messed up his first run only scoring 35, won every other gold medal on his first run as well..

[Drew.]

Loads of falls on the half-pipe today

Shaun White has butchered his hair. Looks even more like Sergio Ramos now

[Drew.]

good lord

There is our winner

Shaun will be in GOAT mode now

They are all bringing out the big moves now

the standard is crazy

these commentators...are these the ones people were moaning about the other day? I love them

[King Gizzard]

is this the final run?

[MTVN]

So tense, I don't think Shaun's done enough, maybe not even for a bronze

[Drew.]

These Japanese kids just look lost

[MTVN]

these commentators...are these the ones people were moaning about the other day? I love them

Not sure, complaints were more about how mental they were going for the British woman and they had one of the other British female snowboarders with them then who was being quite annoying with her shouting and whooping

[MTVN]

Not a big fan of emotional displays those Japanese

[Drew.]

people complained about them? :joker:

Elise Christie is so unlucky lol, disqualified now from the 1500m because her skate was an inch outside the finish line as she crossed it

[Marc]

Ridiculous decision.

She must have touched the line :bored:

[MTVN]

I think the finish line is a little bit inside of the track or something, seems like a ridiculous rule

At least she still has her best event to come

[Marc]

If she gets disqualified from that I think she'll probably top herself

[Marc]

That being said I do like this event, nice and quick unlike the curling.. pretty dull

[MTVN]

Don't you say a bad word about the curling

[Marc]

The only curling I like is curling one out

[MTVN]

For goodness sake

[Marc]

Preferrably one that takes a good half hour

[MTVN]

A tense last end here, we are 6-5 down but have the hammer

[Black Dagger]

Marc, you're revolting.

[Marc]

Lucas you are not revolting.

What happened to the curling?

[BBfanUSA]

Russia will be fuming if they lose this now after that disallowed goal, don't know what the problem was with it

Russian's have been making ridiculous decisions but you'd think they'd fix it for their own

Some Russian woman has broken her spine during her training :umm2:

[BBfanUSA]

Bet this will go into a shootout.

[BBfanUSA]

KANE! Get in!

America a bloody one man team in the shootout

Amazing game though, not even a hockey fan but that was just great to watch

I have tried but I can't get into this hockey, I can hardly see the bloody puck

Can't believe that 3rd goal for Russia was ruled off, disgusting

[Brother Leon]

The puck needs to be bright yellow or something. Half the time I go off the commentary to know if it went in :laugh:

[MTVN]

Can see it most the time, sometimes I lose it but you can normally follow its progress based on watching the players, think its something you get used to as you watch it more

Great thing about Olympics ice hockey is that its the pinnacle of the game for all these players unlike Olympic football, and there's a few different countries in contention unlike something like Olympic basketball

[King Gizzard]

and its on at a good time, I hope they have alot of the games on once it gets out of this stage which is a bit pointless

[Marc]

the puck should be on fire!!!

bull****. they built the rink, if they had built the goal better so it didn't come off it's hinges it wouldn't have been disallowed. they have only themselves to blame.

even still' that was hilarious

Bloody boring animals

Bloody boring animals

Excuse me?

[Marc]

Zoe did well but she was alwas 3rd/4th she was never gonna get a medal in the end

[MTVN]

Aw :( yeah she'd just need everyone to fall over again for a medal

[Marc]

What a hollow victory that would be... a victory though!

[Marc]

wait why is she in this Small final?

[Marc]

oh nvm; see she only came third in that one too; 8th overall

[MTVN]

3rd place, does that get her a small bronze?

[Marc]

a small scrapping of bronze

[Marc]

No body fell in that one :inamood:

[Marc]

Now that's the way to celebrate!

[MTVN]

Slovakia doing pretty well against Russia here, still 0-0 after two periods

[MTVN]

Another shootout for Russia, will be a disaster for them if they lose this

[MTVN]

Jamaicans coming up in the bobsled soon

Edit - make that now

[MTVN]

Aaanndd they're in last place

[Drew.]

They are winners in my eyes

[Vanessa]

Love the ice dancing. The italian couple was amazing. :lovedup:

[MTVN]

5-5 with China going into the last end of the curling here, they've got the hammer though

Good thing is Denmark are probably going to beat Norway here so if we lose we'll still have a playoff tomorrow to get through to the semis, or if we do win here then we're straight through

[King Gizzard]

Any televised hockey today or is it every other day

[MTVN]

Just the women I think with their semi finals

The qualifying playoffs for the men are tomorrow

[MTVN]

Playoff against Norway tomorrow it is then

Hopefully our women should get through to the semis this afternoon

[Marc]

What's occurring with the women's curling

[MTVN]

Playing their last match against Denmark at 3, guaranteed a playoff spot anyway but if they win they're straight through to the semis, I think they should probably get straight through even if they lose unless they get really unlucky with other results

[Marc]

I heard 14/16 possible scenarios involve them going through.

Did you see those Russians?! Man.

[MTVN]

Nah I wasn't up early enough to see that, what was 'man' about them :suspect:

[Marc]

Just... :flutter: ...wonderful

[MTVN]

[Marc]

The second from right :amazed:

[MTVN]

Yeah our women have their semi final place confirmed now, thankfully because they have started badly against the Danes

[MTVN]

Shocking bottlejob from the women there, 7-4 up after 9 ends and losing in the tie break when we had the hammer

Gotta play Canada in the semis now who've not lost all tournament instead of Sweden

[Novo]

Just noticed Russia have gone ahead of USA in the Medals table, there is hope yet

[MTVN]

5-4 down to Norway in the curling tie break but we have the hammer now in the 10th, tense stuff

[MTVN]

Yes!!!!! Pulled it out the bag, quality last shot there

[Marc]

Aw I missed

[Vanessa]

Italy is in gol,d medal position for the slalom. :amazed:
