Hand in hand was cancelled, the results want to be the first together, joy begets sorrow
4hw.com.cn: according to Japan's Asahi Shimbun, on August 15 local time, British Triathlon Jessica & middot; Lilmons and Georgia & middot; Taylor Brown competes in the women's triathlon in Tokyo. They took the lead in the race and decided to cross the finish line hand in hand as they approached the finish line to celebrate the victory. Unexpectedly, they were cancelled.
In the competition, lilmons, the world's No. 2 player who first completed swimming ashore, led the competition and staged a championship competition with Taylor brown, also from Britain. Finally, two people ran to the finish line hand in hand with a smile and finished first and second with almost the same results.
However, this behavior is considered to be in conflict with the rule of "prohibiting intentional completion of the competition at the same time", so the two contestants are disqualified from continuing to participate. Although the British side protested, the executive committee did not change its decision.
It is reported that lilmons is the medal winner of the European and Commonwealth world Triathlon series. Taylor Brown won the world Triathlon series for the first time in early 2019.
The race is scheduled to start at 7:30. Four hours before the race, the International Triathlon Union temporarily decided to shorten the race distance - halving from 10km to 5km. By 6 a.m., the temperature of the runway had reached 28.5 degrees.
In the end, flora Duffy from Bermuda won the competition, because Jessica and Georgia, two British players who completed the competition before her, crossed the finish line hand in hand and were cancelled.
ITU believes that the two British players are 'deliberately equalizing', which violates the regulations of the management organization. The British team appealed, but ITU upheld the previous decision.
The Organizing Committee of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will focus on five Olympic test projects, including triathlon, to adjust and formulate measures to deal with extreme high temperature weather.

After the game, ITU director jergay Marcus said that in order to protect athletes, it is a worthwhile choice to start the Olympic Games in advance.
The Tokyo Olympic Games will be held from July 24 to August 9. The triathlon men's and women's individual events will start at 7:30 a.m. and the mixed relay will start at 8:30 a.m. ITU has taken a number of measures to alleviate the pressure caused by high temperature in summer. This includes adding additional water stations on the runway and allowing athletes to wear cooling vests before the official competition.
Last week, many players participating in the World Youth Rowing championship and Olympic test competition were also sent to hospital because of heatstroke.
