1. Looks like she can hug you to death. What’s the version of “death by snu snu” when it’s arms?

2. Would.

18. Can’t wait to see what the incels say about this one.

19. While I’m happy for her, I don’t understand how good for the US in women’s rugby is a bigger feat than Fiji women doing it in 2021.

20. MAKE ILONA MAHER THE BACHELORETTE in 2025

21. Almost as tanned as that medal. Good to see America make significant strides in rugby ( well Women’s rugby anyway)

    Probably has no need to play the unabbreviated form of the game either ( Rugby Union) with all the endorsement and sponsorship deals she has.

    Our back to back gold medal winning and world champion Black Ferns have to alternate between different rugby codes to make a living ( including women’s rugby league) 😞

22. 

23. She carries Olympic tiktok

24. I believe everyone who called her a man during the Olympics should be barred from seeing these photos. They shouldn’t get to gaze on the glorious womanhood that is Ilona Maher.

25. I re read your comment three times and each time I felt like I was having a stroke.

    Also: who said it was a bigger feat? What’s Fiji got to do with anything?
