British BMX rider Bethany Shriever won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games after she was refused funding and Watch Porn Story Episode 10 full videoresorted to crowdfunding to be able to go to Japan.
The 22-year-old cyclist launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2019 with a goal of £50,000 ($69,719) to cover costs to reach the 2020 Olympics. This followed a decision by UK Sport, the government agency that invests in Olympic and Paralympic athletes, that it would only financially support male BMX riders for Tokyo, after no British women riders qualified for the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Back in 2019, Shriever told the BBC it was "worrying" that she was being denied funding.
"My rivals who are all around the world are doing this full time and are funded, so I'm the only one who's not really getting much help," she said. "It is worrying and I don't want my dream to compete at Tokyo to be taken away just because of money."

A GoFundMe page set up by Shriever in Feb. 2019 raised just under £5,000 (just under $7,000).
Later in 2019, according to the BBC, UK Sport removed a clause in British Cycling's funding award "which stated female riders could not be invested in," and Shriever was able to be somewhat financially backed by British Cycling.
Shriever's dream thankfully was not taken away. And not only did Shriever get to compete — she won the gold medal for Team GB in the women's BMX racing final at the Ariake Urban Sports Park at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday.
Her Team GB teammate Kye Whyte also celebrated victory with a silver medal in the men's race.

"To make a final is another achievement in itself. To win a medal, let alone a gold medal, I'm over the moon."
Hear that? A gold medal. Now, how about keeping that funding open this time, UK Sport?
