Gold Medal for Bombing Victim

By James Sanna 12 August 2009 52 views No Comment

It’s a fitting epilogue to a frightening event that Danish prosecutors are calling a hate crime – Dean Koga, the Seattle runner hit by shrapnel from an explosive thrown onto the field of Copenhagen’s Osterbro Stadium during the 2009 OutGames, won gold a men’s 200 meter race yesterday.

The Advocate today published an interview with Koga about his experience at the games, but doesn’t report any additional details on the motives of the bomber, a 31-year-old Danish man arrested after throwing the three explosive devices.
