U.S. hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned her back on the U.S. flag during the National Anthem while at the podium at the Olympic Trials on Saturday.
She told reporters she felt like “it was a setup, and they did it on purpose,” because she thought the National Anthem would be played before the athletes walked out. When it was played while they were on the podium, she said, “I was pissed, to be honest.”
