Hammer thrower Betty Heidler subsequently receives the silver medal at the London Olympics instead of the bronze medal she won in a dramatic competition. Russian Olympic champion Tatyana Lysenko was disqualified for doping.
Subsequent new medal color Joy and Sorrow
Betty Heidler says about her subsequent change of medal color:
“On the one hand I'm happy, on the other hand I'm upset. Everything that comes with winning a silver medal at the Olympics was taken away from me. On the one hand, the recognition of my performance in the competition itself, and on the other hand, the economic factor, which is undoubtedly linked to the placement and color of the medal.”
