ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Podium girl

Okay kiddo, so you know how when someone wins a race, like a bike or a car race, they stand on a little platform thingy and hold up a trophy? Well, sometimes there are girls who stand next to them and give them the trophy. Those girls are called podium girls.

Now, some people think that having girls stand next to the winners is kind of silly, because it doesn't really have anything to do with the race. They think it just makes it look like the only reason the girls are there is to look pretty.

Other people say that having podium girls is just a tradition, and that it's no big deal. They think it's just a way to make winning the race more exciting, and that the girls are just there to add to the fun.

So, there you have it kiddo! Podium girls are just girls who stand next to the winners of a race and give them their trophies. Some people like having them there, and some people don't.
