According to the latest athlete information reality on the official website of the World Athletics Federation, the personal profiles of the sprinters of the Chinese athletics team, Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Wu Zhiqiang, have all been marked as "Olympic bronze medal winners". Such news also immediately aroused concern. For the outside world, it is indeed not easy to know the arrival of this moment. The twists and turns behind this script are still very concerned.
According to the report, "In the men's 4X100m relay final of the Tokyo Olympic Games held on August 6, 2021, the Chinese team composed of Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Wu Zhiqiang ran 37.79 seconds, equaling the national record and finishing fourth." Last month, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that British sprinter Chikindu Uja had violated anti-doping regulations during the Tokyo Olympics, with the British team's result in the men's 4X100m relay final being cancelled and his silver medal confiscated. As Britain's silver medal is withdrawn, Canada will make up for the silver medal, and the fourth-placed Chinese team will also make up for the bronze medal. If finally confirmed by the International Olympic Committee, this will be the best result in the Olympic history of the Chinese relay team. ”
Such news is definitely a good thing for china's athletic federation. Similarly, for Chinese track and field athletes, it is also an affirmation and encouragement. Furthermore, it is also an incentive for our young athletes to take this opportunity to create better results.
In addition, according to further media reports, "in accordance with official procedures, the IOC will reassign medals and finally confirm them based on the IAAF's finally recognized performance rankings." At that time, the IOC will conduct a medal re-awarding ceremony through the Chinese Olympic Committee, which will seek to be held within 12 months after the IOC's official announcement (or at the next Olympic Games). ”
Today, the National Olympic Committee has not yet confirmed. In other words, it will take a long time for athletes to be fully confirmed. First, the IOC needs to confirm it based on the results of the World Athletics Federation, followed by a medal reissuance ceremony in 12 months. These are all things that are very concerned. Because, the medal of the 100 meters of sprint, whether it is a men's team or a women's team, whether it is an individual or a relay, is a historic honor.
This means that if the bronze medal is finally awarded, it will be the first Olympic medal in the Chinese sprint 100 meters and 200 meters. Such a "first" is still exciting. Similarly, in women's athletics, super young people like Ge Manqi are also very concerned. Such athletes also have bright prospects for the future.
Now, after such achievements have been confirmed, the most exciting thing for fans is definitely to bless Su Bingtian. Why? Because Su Bingtian is very old, this Olympic Games may be the last Olympic Games he participated in. For Su Bingtian, he has always been the facade of Chinese sprinting, so it is naturally a great thing that he can win a medal. This is super exciting for any fan.
Meritorious service! The World Athletics Federation recognized the bronze medal of the Chinese men's 100m relay team and congratulated Su Bingtian. For Su Bingtian, this matter is indeed a matter of perfect merit. For fans, I also hope that China's young sprinters can create better results in the future.
