The International Olympic Committee says it is looking into Raven Saunders’ “X” hand gesture on the podium after winning silver in shot put.
Saunders told reporters following the ceremony that the “X” stood for “the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet.”

Saunders seemingly referred to the controversy in a Twitter post on Sunday, stating, “Let them try and take this medal.”
