Flint's own Claressa Shields first American boxer to win two gold medals!

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Claressa Shields won her second Olympic boxing gold medal Sunday, becoming the first American to win gold in two games.

Shields dominated the first women's boxing tournament in London and was again the class of the middleweight division in Rio. The 21-year-old Flint, Michigan, native beat Netherlands fighter Nouchka Fontijn by unanimous decision in convincing fashion.

Shields shook and shimmied before she took her triumphant step on the medal stand. She raised her arms in victory, then pulled her 2012 London Games gold medal out of her jacket pocket and placed it around her neck.

She sang along to the national anthem, then held up both gold medals for all to see.

Shields kicked off the first of four medal bouts on the final day of the tournament that quickly turned into doubles action.

Shields showed off her two golds. Uzbekistan won two golds. And Sunday capped double gold for the first couple of the Olympic boxing tournament.
