Olympia Teases Serena Williams' 'Big Booty' During Hangman Game

As of November 14th, 2025, tennis icon Serena Williams has opened up about how her father, Richard, derailed her dreams of becoming a gymnast when she was just 10 years old. Serena had considered gymnastics as a backup plan if her tennis career failed, but her father refused to allow the option, believing tennis would offer her the greatest opportunities to succeed in life.

This moment left a young Serena feeling "devastated" and forced her to focus solely on the sport her father envisioned for her, surrendering one of her ambitions and passions. Her older sister, Venus, reflected on their father's reasoning, noting that gymnastics requires early specialization and Serena had already grown taller than most elite gymnasts.
