The IOC will award the Long Beach Wilson grad the 2012 Olympic 400 hurdles gold during at special ceremony at the Paris Games.
Lashinda Demus of the United States poses on the podium during the medal ceremony for the women’s 400 meter hurdles in the London 2012 Olympic Games at Olympic Stadium on August 9, 2012 in London, England. “I didn’t even have a clue what he was talking about,” Demus, the Inglewood native and former Long Beach Wilson High School standout hurdler, recalled Wednesday.
“This broke my heart as I knew I was the best runner in the race,” Demus said. “Once I get to Paris, for the Olympic Medal Ceremony, my broken heart will finally be healed.” “If I was competing in an international competition with billions of people watching I want to receive my medal again in the same kind of platform and that was my main message to them.”
It wasn’t until December 2022 that the Athlete Integrity Unit, the agency overseeing anti-doping for World Athletics, international track and field’s governing body, stripped Antyukh of the gold medal and declared Demus the Olympic champion.
