Le vs. la

Frank C.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

The sentence, "Pourtant, elle le mérité vraiment", refers to something in the previous sentence, which is "Surya n’à jamais gagné de médaille d'or aux Jeux Olympiques, ce qui est vraiment dommage." The 'le' is used instead of 'la' because it refers to gaining the gold medal, a masculine reference, as opposed to "la médaille d'or", a feminine reference. Is that the correct interpretation as to why 'le' is used ?
