According to the latest news, the medal ownership of the race walking event at the 2012 London Olympics has changed, and her Olympic gold medal has been cancelled due to the fact that champion Rashmanova took banned drugs. Then, according to the order of succession, China's Qiyang Shijie, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi won the first and second places respectively, realizing the coverage of the Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals. Although this honor came a little late, it was delayed for 10 years, but it is still worth celebrating, which is also after Su Bingtian, and there are Chinese athletes who have stepped on the Olympic podium through the way of substitution.
The overall strength of Chinese athletics is average, the strengths are relatively small, and it takes many years to emerge a player of Liu Xiang's level. But there is one project, the performance of the Chinese team has always been good, that is, race walking, whether male or female, the overall results are commendable. In the women's 20 km race walk final of the 2012 London Olympic Games, China sent three famous players to compete, which was originally a must for the gold medal. In terms of strength, China's Qieyang Shijie, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi were the top celebrities at that time, of which Liu Hong was regarded as a champion favorite.
But what is surprising is that after the game, the Chinese players did not win the gold medal, and Qieyang Shijie performed best, even breaking the Asian record, but only won a bronze medal. Liu Hong, who had high hopes from the outside world, only won the 4th place, and Lu Xiuzhi ranked 6th, and the national audience was slightly disappointed. Of course, Chinese athletes have always been proud of winning and not being discouraged, and since they have not defeated their opponents, it means that some places are not in place, and they must find ways to adjust in time and strive to challenge again. So, the matter passed, and few people talked about it after the London Olympics.
However, shortly after the end of the competition, the runners-up at the time, Kanishkina and the 5th place Kilgapukina, both failed the drug test, and the Olympic results were canceled. The Chinese athletics team received unexpected surprises, with Qieyang Shijie and Liu Hong winning silver and bronze medals, and Lu Xiuzhi finishing fourth. I thought this was the end, but recently, the anti-doping agency found that champion Rashmanova also had a drug ban problem, and stripped her of her gold medal. As a result, China's top 3 race walkers, in this unexpected way, won the gold, silver and bronze medals, which is also the first time in the history of the world sports world.
In recent years, international sports organizations have stepped up the detection of athletes' doping problems, not only for active athletes, but also for many former Olympic champions and world champions, who will also be investigated. Just a few days ago, the British sprinter Uja failed the drug test, resulting in the cancellation of the British team's men's 100-meter relay performance at the Tokyo Olympics, and the Chinese team won the bronze medal. Su Bingtian created a personal best at the East Olympic Games, and the team event is only one step away from reaching the podium, and now that he has realized his dream in this way, he has no regrets.
