United States shot-put athlete Raven Saunders used her moment on the medal podium at the Tokyo Olympics to make a political statement.
After winning silver in the women's shot put event on Sunday, Saunders stepped off the podium during the medal ceremony to raise her arms over her head and form an X sign.
Asked by reporters about the gesture, Saunders said it is "the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet.”
She also said it was meant to "show younger people that no matter how many boxes they try to fit you in, you can be you and you can accept it.
