Silver Medal-winning U.S. shot putter Raven Saunders "offered the highest-profile protest yet" at the Tokyo Games. On Sunday night, Saunders "raised her arms over her head in an 'X' as she, gold medalist Lijiao Gong and bronze medalist Valerie Adams posed for photographers." Saunders "stood with her hands in front of her during the anthem." She said that the symbol "represented 'the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet'" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 8/1).
