Bruce identifies as a woman. As a self-identified woman, "she" would be ineligible to compete in the decathlon. "She" should have competed in the pentathlon. I'm sure "she" would have won; however, "she" did not compete in that event.
Since "she" participated in the decathlon event, despite the restriction on her self-identified gender, she would be disqualified for illegal participation.
Therefore, no medal. It should be stripped from "her", and awarded to the next highest finisher.
Alternately, "she" could just fess up that "she's" a man!
