  "summary": "Ariarne Titmus has led a group of Australian Olympians in criticising an advertisement by actress Sydney Sweeney. The ad, for a sports betting company, features Sweeney appearing mostly nude while playing various sports.\n\nThe athletes have condemned the advertisement, with Titmus calling it \"an absolute joke\". Many have taken to social media to express their disapproval, accusing the ad of belittling and setting back women in sport.\n\nAccording to ABC News AU, dozens of athletes have criticised the ad, which shows Sweeney in little to no clothing playing mock sports and boasting about betting. American gymnast Gracie Kramer was one of the first to respond, posting an Instagram reel that read: \"idk what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what a woman in sport looks like.\"",
