How did people react to Paulova’s style choice?

It’s a blast from the past for Paulova, but her fans of the present are raving about her style choices on the ice. Here are how some of her supporters expressed their liking for her quirky chic jewelry choice:

Even Peacock had to show their support for Paulova’s snazzy style.

Are athletes allowed to wear jewelry during competition at the Olympics?

Technically, the International Olympic Committee does not have a set rule that prohibits jewelry from being worn during competition. 

However, most athletes remove all jewelry for safety purposes. Sometimes a hit of high momentum, whether it’s tumbling down a slope or colliding in a hockey rink, can make wearing jewelry quite risky. 

There are many athletes besides Paulova that have donned accessories during the Games over the years, including U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman and U.S. swimmer Dana Voller, who wore earrings during competition at the 2012 London Games.
