Olympic athlete explains why she's sick of being told she's 'too pretty to wrestle.'

Reigning world champion, three-time gold medal female wrestler Adeline Gray has a problem. "I absolutely hate the statement 'You're too pretty to wrestle,'" the 25-year-old told ESPNMagazine in their annual body issue. What followed in the interview is Gray, a current member of the 2016 United States Olympic team, proving how badass she is and that she's an inspiration for every woman that feels marginalized.

Gray told the magazine:

I'm a three-time champion and should, in my eyes, be kind of all over the place. But there are still people who are like, 'I didn't even know you guys were in the Olympics.' Yep, we are.

And:

I think people used to view female athletes as very butch, masculine—you kind of had to disregard your femininity to excel at an elite sport. Now it's just a different world.

And then broke it down:

When I talk to young girls, I tell them you can have the best of both worlds. You are allowed to be a female and be considered beautiful and still be an athlete and still be badass in that realm.

She also spoke to the importance of finding the weight that works for you:

There's definitely something to be said about wrestling at your natural weight... Everyone is so focused on losing weight—​your body likes to fit within a certain range, and if you force it to go one way or the other, it's difficult.​

Finally, she dropped the mic with this:

I want to impart some dreams to young girls who haven't had opportunities in the past. Boys really have a leg up on us because they have these professional leagues that they can dream about. So if I can be like Serena Williams or like some of these main stars out there who are being iconic and groundbreaking and are role models for this next generation, it would be an honor and a blessing.
