Turkish weightlifter Dilara Narin has been awarded the gold medal at the +63kg event at the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games.
It comes after Thai weightlifter Supatchanin Khamhaeng was disqualified from the event for the use of a banned substance. Her disqualification from the Games was made by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Narin had initially won the silver medal at the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games, held from 6-18 October 2018 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She will now be presented with her gold medal in a ceremony that will be held in line with the IOC's "Olympic Medal Reallocation Principles and Ceremony Options".
