According to the News of the Chinese Olympic Committee today, on March 21, Beijing time, the official website of the World Athletics Federation certified wu Zhiqiang, Su Bingtian, Tang Xingqiang and Xie Zhenye as four Chinese athletes who won the bronze medal in the men's 4×100 meters relay of the Tokyo Olympic Games. Together, they created the best result in the history of the Chinese team in the Olympic sprint relay event.
In the men's 4×100m relay at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games, the Chinese team consisting of Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang finished fourth in the 4×100m relay with a time of 37.79 seconds.
Then, in mid-August last year, Uja, a British athlete who finished runner-up in the project, failed a drug test and was detected as a banned drug in the sample.
In February, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that British male sprinter Uja had violated anti-doping rules by cancelling the British team's silver medal in the men's 4×100m relay at the Tokyo Olympics. It was only a matter of time before the Chinese team won the bronze medal in the supplement.
Today, the information on the official website of the IAAF shows that the personal information of Chinese athletes Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang has been added to the introduction of "Olympic bronze medal winner".
Tang Xingqiang said on his Weibo: "It is a pleasure to see the IAAF confirm the reissue of this precious Olympic bronze medal to us. I will never forget my trip to Tokyo last summer. There are a lot of important races this year, and we will try to do our best, thank you all for your support. ”
