Track and field history repeats itself, whose face did the American women's relay team hit?

On August 19, Beijing time, in the women's 4X 100 meter relay preliminaries, China ranked fifth in the group with a score of 42.70 seconds, ranking eighth in the total score, and advanced to the final. After 16, China finally reached the final of this project again.

The champion American team made a mistake in handing the baseball, ranking last in the preliminary round and missing the final. But then the United States filed a complaint, saying that Felix, the second stick, was interfered by Brazilian athletes when he handed Gardner, the third stick. The IAAF confirmed that the referee found that Brazil fouled and the United States got a chance to fight again. Although China expressed a protest, this protest was rejected by the IAAF. The rematch time is 19 local time. At this time, there was no audience in the stadium, and the American media even called it just like training. In the final rematch, the United States became the first team, and China regretted being pushed out of the competition.

Gong of the American team successfully rewrote the history of track and field. The question followed. Why did the American team advance to the semi-finals? Because of Brazil's foul, it is normal to cancel their game results. Because in the history of track and field in the world, foul is a common phenomenon in the competition, and it is a normal procedure to ensure the fairness of the competition that the fouler is punished. To say the least, if it is a semi-final, it should not be an American team. There has never been a case of a replay because of a foul in history, especially in the Olympic Games.

Previously, the IAAF also admitted that they had made a "not very good decision", but what caused the IAAF to acquiesce in the establishment of this not very good decision?

This rematch also gave the IAAF a slap in the face. In the men's 1 10 world track and field championships, Liu Xiang, a flying man from China, was hit by Robles in the arm and finally missed the championship. Robles' gold medal was cancelled due to a foul, and Liu Xiang won the second place. Then the China team immediately complained that the match was once called off for a replay, but it was a pity that it didn't win in the end. Liu Xiang was angry afterwards, but he accepted Robb's apology. According to this logic, why didn't Liu Xiang have a rematch?

After the game, the major media in China expressed dissatisfaction with the result. Liang Xiaojing, No.4 player of China Women's Team, even expressed strong dissatisfaction at the Weibo: "We are really, really hard! If, as the news said, the United States successfully appealed and squeezed us out, how could there be pure sports? Isn't competitive sports always like this?

In this regard, Feng Shuyong, deputy director of the Track and Field Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, also wrote in the Weibo: "The referee ruled that Brazilian laws and regulations affected the American team in the women's 4x 100 meter relay preliminaries. According to the rules, Brazil can be disqualified, but it is an absurd decision to judge that the American team can re-compete alone. Never heard a big joke. "

Of course, the IAAF is definitely not stupid. They must have thought about the consequences at the moment they made this decision, but for the sake of the so-called big country interests, I think the IAAF is also very helpless. The American team finally made it to the final, but was it really good? The answer is of course no.
