According to multiple French media reports, the father of Barbara Matic, the Croatian athlete who won the gold medal in the 70 kg category of women’s judo at the Paris Olympics, has been arrested by Paris police on suspicion of sexual assault.
On July 31st local time, while watching the competition from the stands, Matic’s father suddenly and without consent kissed a female volunteer onsite after his daughter won her quarterfinal match. He was detained by local police on August 1st, and the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that a complaint had been received. The matter is currently under further investigation.
While Matic brought Croatia its first gold medal of these Olympics, her father’s behavior is likely to cast a shadow over her brilliant achievement.
