Gymnastics: First All Black Medal Ceremony

Yesterday in Paris, USA’s Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles won silver and bronze for the Women's Floor Exercise Final as Brazile’s Rebeca Andrade won gold. It was the first time in the history of the Olympic Games in gymnastics that all three medal winners were Black. During the medal platform ceremony, Biles and Chiles gave Andrade a playful salute upon winning her first gold medal.
