U.S. high jumper Chaunte Lowe wins 2008 Olympic bronze medal

U.S. high jumper Chaunte Lowe won an Olympic bronze medal, nine years after her competition.

Lowe has been upgraded from sixth at the 2008 Olympics to third due to doping from the original third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishers.

“It’s easy to look at this situation and think about all that was lost, but I choose to look forward to all that was gained,” Lowe said in a press release. “In the last nine years, I have met amazing new people, my husband and I have had two additional children, and all three of our kids can now understand the gravity of this moment.
