Maher posed, with the medal, for the cover of the outlet’s digital September issue.. “But I never felt that way. But I don’t think you’re going to bully the girl who could probably beat you up in a rage. I love that showed me what I can do. It showed me how capable my body is and it’s not just like a tool to be looked at and objectified.” Maher has seen her social media follower count skyrocket since the Olympics started and now has 2.3 million followers on TikTok.
She continued to say that while conventional metrics would say she’s overweight she had the proof that she’s a bona fide athlete. “I’ve said it before, I’m 5-foot-10, 200 lbs, and I have about — and this is an estimate — about 170 pounds of lean mass on me. Do that math in your head. You probably can’t,” Maher continued in the video.“That’s pretty crazy, right? And that BMI doesn’t really tell you what I can do; It doesn’t tell you what I do on the field; How fit I am. It’s just a couple of numbers put together. It doesn’t tell you how much muscle I have, or anything like that. So yeah, I do have a BMI of 30.
