Runner Qualifies For The Olympics While Wearing Bags Of Doritos As Earrings

Sometimes you've got to make a statement. Whether it's political or whether you just want some free crisps like Christina Clemons.

The 31-year-old was competing in a 100m hurdles race over the weekend to determine whether she would place on the USA's Olympic team for Tokyo this summer.

Incredibly she did and it only got better from there as people started to notice that she did so wearing tiny Cool Ranch Doritos in her ears.

After competing, she tweeted: "I made the Olympic team wearing a bag of @Doritos on my ears. Twitter, I need y'all to do your thing! We need to blow Doritos mentions UP."

It seems that now she wants to work with the popular crisp brand as they replied to her saying: "Congrats on the accomplishment. Hit our DMs so we can talk," to which Christina replied: "Check your dm."

Not one to mess around. Bravo.

Doritos then tweeted calling Christina an 'icon', adding: "This is your moment."

Now, according to Zoomph, a sponsorship analytics platform, Christina has already started to make a difference for Doritos.

Replying to Christina's tweet many took the opportunity to congratulate her as well as telling Doritos to up their game and hook her up with a commercial.

One wrote: "Congratulations Christina! You so deserve this. Your story is amazing. You have experienced the extreme lows & now the ultimate high. Yes, Doritos needs to come good and get a sponsorship done."

Another added: "@Doritos y'all need to go ahead and sponsor this young lady's @Olympics dream journey."

A third suggested: "This bold, intense, serious young woman should be sponsored by @Doritos. I can imagine an ad of her running with flames coming from her shoes as she goes around the track. Support our Olympic athletes!"

Tagging Doritos, someone else commented: "There's Cool Ranch, then there's @SheTheMann_ing Cool Ranch! @Doritos should recognize," and Doritos responded saying: "I mean game recognize game."

So, we wonder when the advert will drop...
