Black Olympic Floor podium
I’m old enough to remember when Gymnastics coaches thought gymnasts of African heritage were usually too tall, too heavy to be great at our sport. They actively recruited children of Asian heritage.
We were wrong.
Andrade, Biles and Chiles captured gold, silver and bronze in the women’s floor final. It was the first Olympic gymnastics podium with three Black women. …
The podium also represented 20 Olympic medals with Biles owning 11, Andrade six and Chiles three.

Handing out medals to just a few is only one small goal of the Olympic Movement.
Motivating children to do sport — I’d argue — is much more important.
