is firing back at a female official for calling her sprint shorts"inappropriate" ... saying women should not have to feel self-conscious about what they wear during competition.
The 24-year-old 2-time world champion claims the comment came after the long jump events at the English Championships in Bedford on Sunday ... an interaction that left a bad taste in her mouth. "I am always very grateful to the incredible volunteers who officiate at athletics events," Breen said on Twitter."They do an amazing job and make it possible for us to compete."
"However, tonight I feel quite disappointed because just as I finished my long jump competition at the English Championships, one of the female officials felt it necessary to inform me that my sprint briefs were too short and inappropriate."Thank you everyone for all your lovely supportive messages and I’m sorry to hear that it has happened to so many other people. Some people have asked what I was competing in yesterday so here is a picture.
