She'll be in the record books
Women's boxing is brand new to the Summer Olympics in 2012 and 17-year-old U.S. boxer Claressa Shields has carved her name in the record books as the first middleweight gold medalist. She won a 19-12 decision over Russia's Nadezda Torlopova Thursday (Aug. 9) and says of her gold medal, "I will probably wear the medal everyday for the first year."
