[1]
Originally, Colombia left Beijing with two medals, a silver and a bronze won by weightlifter Diego Salazar and wrestler Jackeline Rentería respectively. [2] Weightlifter Leidy Solis originally finished fourth, but was promoted to a silver medal after both gold [3] and bronze [4] medalist of the 69 kg category were disqualified following a positive anti-doping test of their respective 2008 samples. She received her medal in december 2017. [5]
