When I grow up, I want to be Jutta Leerdam. Never before have I written about an athlete twice in a row. But I couldn’t help it. I stare at her with my mouth open. Insta baby. Overwhelming champion. Sex symbol. Beat the track record. Primordial woman who tells it like it is.
How she undoes her hair when it ends, a sea of blond on her shoulders. How she flirts with the camera. She gives kisses. As her tight stomach shows on Instagram. Her legs a mile long, in high heels. Of her Her tiny bikinis and her strong buttocks. This is not appropriate for a top level athlete. It should be focused on performance. But Jutta looks sexy. She shows herself in full glory.
His appearance is his calling card, but we are not allowed to talk about it as decent people. Those times are gone. We should celebrate his successes. And nothing more. While that body is so beautiful. She trained hard for it. She can be proud of it and, as far as I’m concerned, more than the proper and restrained pride we expect from athletes. Show it off Jutta, go girl. The fact that it does is confusing. If you are not allowed to see her as a sex object, can you look at her? Have fun? Or are you a sexist?
Careers have been disrupted by an excessive focus on lean
If it were to leak, this is also the first thing that would be razed. Too small Insta. Too superficially interested only in her looks. Judgment is ready. But Jutta crushes the opposition. She skates records on a broken skate. And just when you think it’s going to be about it, she starts talking about real women’s issues. Hers Her menstrual problems. Or her weight. A few extra kilos. More fat.
Talking about it is even more revolutionary than his resume. Why admitting you’re fat is a problem for athletes. Unless it’s muscle. You can be proud of it. But fat? This is not a top performance. Preferably it should be as little as possible. Jutta says it herself: In recent years she has focused on losing weight in the summer. Whereas now she looks like she is much stronger with a little more fat.
Precisely because she wins like she has never done before, with such force majeure, her statements are precious for young athletes. There are so many athletes who struggle with their weight. To win you have to be thin. Countless careers have been cut short by an excessive focus on lean. Jutta proves it: to win you have to feel good about yourself. He is not only physically stronger due to the extra pounds, but also mentally. She likes life more and is therefore more relaxed.
Plays with stereotypes with apparent playful ease. At 23, she has more self-awareness in her little finger than I had in my entire body at that age. I’ve always found her charming, her game with the best sports and that sexy look. Another level has been added – Primal Power. It makes it touchable and elusive at the same time. She and she an absolute model.
All lists for this year have already been drawn up and all prizes have already been awarded. It doesn’t matter: not even the title of “Sportswoman of the Year” would cover the load. Jutta Leerdam is much more. She is the “woman of the decade”. She coming, that is.
