Claressa Shields is the first American boxer to capture two Olympic gold medals consecutively. The 21-year-old boxer made history on Sunday in Rio when she beat out the Netherlands' Nouchka Fontijn by unanimous decision, defending her London 2012 title - and becoming the first American boxer, man or woman, to win two Olympic gold medals in the process. "I feel like I'm dreaming right now, somebody pinch me," Shields said after the fight, according to NPR. "You know, not everybody can be an Olympic gold medalist. I'm a two-time Olympic Gold medalist. Oh my God, I can't believe I just said that.
