U.S. medalists draw attention on podium

Two Americans used their medal-winning moments at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, to draw attention to social issues back home that they feel are spiraling out of control.

During their medals ceremonies at the multisport event in Lima, fencer Race Imboden took a knee and hammer thrower Gwen Berry raised her fist.

“Racism, gun control, mistreatment of immigrants, and a president who spreads hate are at the top of a long list” of America’s problems, Imboden said in a tweet sent after his team’s foil medals ceremony. “I chose to sacrifice my moment today at the top of the podium to call attention to issues that I believe need to be addressed.”

Berry raised her fist as America’s national anthem was played to honor her win in the hammer throw. She called out injustice in America “and a president who’s making it worse.”
