SAINT-DENIS, France — Raven Saunders dressed up in a full black face mask, gold teeth, hair dyed neon green and purple and new long, long nails featuring their alter ego, The Hulk. There will be no medals to complete the look, though. The standout shot putter was out after three throws at the Olympics on Friday night, finishing 11th out of the 12 athletes who made the final. Yemisi Ogunleye of Germany won gold. Saunders, who uses the pronouns they and them, said they were at peace with not adding another medal to the silver they won in Tokyo three years ago.
