Federer91 2,112 Posted July 27, 2016 #772 Share Posted July 27, 2016 We got a medal from the beyond? I'm not holding my breath just yet, cause it's weightlifting and it's Bulgaria and weightlifting none the less. Not your average smooth relationship.

orangeman 1,296 Posted July 28, 2016 #775 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Canadian weightlifter Christine Girard will likely have her bronze from London upgraded to a gold due to the new doping evidence. However, it'll probably take up to 2 years. In her words: "It's bittersweet. I would have really liked to have had the proper ceremony, have our flag and hear that song that makes us cry on the podium, but at the same time I'm happy that it got cleared up." She was not just robbed of the gold, she was robbed of that experience. And who knows how many more will be after Rio due to the IOC's decision. Like I said, maybe they should start doing victory ceremonies for the 4th and 5th places, too, especially when 'certain' athletes get a medal. Again in her words: "I got tested any day, any time," added Girard. "Two days after my wedding they were at my house at six in the morning, woke up everybody in my house to test me. That's what we do in Canada, which can be annoying for athletes, but it's amazing because it's our values and we believe in true sport." http://www.tsn.ca/canadian-girard-may-get-london-gold-1.533958 Edited July 28, 2016 by orangeman typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
