Marathon error rectified
Print Edition
THE first-place finisher at the Yantai International Marathon in east China’s Shandong Province will receive his overdue prize after organizers admitted they failed to see the runner cross the finish line.
Gong Chao, an amateur marathon runner, finished first in a personal-best time of 2 hours and 52 minutes in the race in Yantai, but was later told his result had been canceled for “cheating”. The organizers explained that Gong did not appear anywhere in the official video that only recorded the first three runners during the race. Gong took to the Internet to contest his innocence and the organizers were forced to review his result until Friday when they decided Gong did not cheat.
