Wrong-turn disqualification
Print Edition
When Omar Ahmed made a wrong turn in the 10K event of the Great Bristol Run, little did he know that he would run an extra 12 kilometers to win the half marathon and then get disqualified. The two courses diverged at one point and Ahmed, who entered the 10K as an elite runner, went the wrong way to finish the half-marathon with a time of 1:03:08 鈥 nearly 5 minutes ahead of the competition. 鈥淩ules are rules and in this case they say we have to disqualify Omar,鈥 Paul Foster, chief executive of The Great Run Company, was quoted as saying by the BBC. 鈥淲e salute his performance and he has been invited to take part in next week鈥檚 Great Manchester Run as an elite athlete. Of course, we also look forward to welcoming him back to Bristol for 2022鈥檚 Great Bristol Run.鈥 As a result, Chris Thompson who finished with a time of 1:07:53 was adjudged the winner of Sunday鈥檚 race. The 10K and half marathon are usually held in different months. Both races were cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
