"Silva is from Rio’s famous Cidade de Deus (City of God), a long neglected Rio favela. As a black woman from such a disadvantaged community, her victory was a powerfully symbolic moment for the country. It was also an impressive comeback for the 24-year-old who suffered racial abuse after she was disqualified at London 2012 despite being tipped for a medal."
This is the best thing I have seen so far this Olympics.
