SEGO2018-1203-017<br /> 3 December 2018<br /> <br /> The International Olympic Committee and the Canadian Olympic Committee officially presented Christine Girard her London 2012 Olympic gold and Beijing 2008 Olympic bronze medals in weightlifting. The medal ceremony was held at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. <br /> <br /> info from <a href="https://olympic.ca/press/christine-girard-awarded-london-2012-and-beijing-2008-medals/">https://olympic.ca/press/christine-girard-awarded-london-2012-and-beijing-2008-medals/</a> :<br /> <br /> "Girard was initially awarded the bronze medal at London 2012. After the International Olympic Committee ordered retesting of more than 1500 urine samples from Beijing 2008 and London 2012, the samples from two athletes who placed ahead of her, Maiya Maneza of Kazakhstan and Svetlana Tsarukaeva of Russia, were found positive for doping. They were disqualified, losing their placings and medals. Girard was confirmed as the London 2012 Olympic champion in April 2018.<br /> <br /> In late 2016, Girard was awarded the bronze medal from Beijing 2008 after Irina Nekrassova of Kazakhstan was stripped of her silver medal for testing positive for banned substances. Girard had initially placed fourth in the event."<br /> <br /> © Serge Gouin 2018 <br /> <a href="http://www.segophoto.ca">http://www.segophoto.ca</a>
