On Friday, Egyptian weightlifter Tarek Yehia received his bronze Olympic medal after 12 years.

Yehia came fourth after the end of the 85kg - weightlifting competitions in 2012 London Games. 

But, gold medal winner Russian weightlifter Aukhadov was suspended in November 2012, and had a long appeal process that ended with proving his suspension and stripping him from the medal.

Yehia had requested that the International Olympic Committee present his bronze medal during the Paris 2024 Olympics. 

He received it today before the start of the weightlifting events.
