在東京的鐵人三項女子組資格賽中
來自英國的Jess Learmonth 和 Georgia Taylor-Brown
因為兩人手牽手同時衝線
根據大會規定2.11.f,
"運動員如果刻意不分出勝負而導致平手排不出名次的局面 則會被判失格"

因此兩人的第一二名同時被剝奪 名次由第三名以後的賽員補上

Britain's Jess Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown's were disqualified from
the World Triathlon Olympic qualification event in Tokyo after crossing the
finish line hand-in-hand.

A photo finish initially gave Learmonth, 31, victory but the pair were later
deemed to have broken a race rule.

An appeal was rejected and compatriot Vicky Holland was upgraded to third.

Bermuda's Flora Duffy was awarded the win ahead of Italy's Alice Betto.

Britain's Non Stanford, the 2013 world champion, finished seventh.

In searing temperatures, Learmonth led the field after the swim but was
reeled in by 13 others on the bike, including Taylor-Brown, 25, and eventual
winner Duffy, who was competing in her first race after a year out to injury.

The British duo then forced a healthy lead on the run and finished together,
breaking International Triathlon Union (ITU) competition rule 2.11.f, which
states "athletes who finish in a contrived tie situation, where no effort to
separate their finish times has been made, will be disqualified".

The running section of the race was cut from 10km to 5km because of the
extreme heat at the Olympic test event.

Tokyo 2020 organisers have been testing misting sprays and air-conditioned
tents to combat soaring temperatures, after a 2018 heatwave in the city
killed more than a dozen people.

Games spokesman Masa Takaya told Reuters that a "comprehensive review is
necessary" following the triathlon event.

Had the race been over an Olympic distance, then third place would have
earned Holland, as a Rio 2016 medallist, an automatic spot for Tokyo next
year under British Triathlon's selection policy.

Athletes will now be chosen at a selection meeting later this year.

Holland, 33, said: "I really feel for Jess and Georgia because they raced
exceptionally well today and I feel like they absolutely smashed it and
deserved the first and second finish.

"I don't know how British Triathlon will choose things now. I wouldn't want
to be a selector."

Rewatch the World Triathlon Olympic qualification event - Women's Race
Why Learmonth and Taylor-Brown were disqualified and Brownlees were not

Jonny Brownlee helped over finish line by brother Alistair in Mexico
Back in 2016, an exhausted Jonny Brownlee was helped over the finish line by
his brother Alistair at the Triathlon World Series in Mexico.

Neither sibling was penalised because Alistair pushed his brother ahead of
him on the line. It meant that Jonny clearly completed the race in second
place, in front of Alistair in third.

This was a legal move at the time, although the ITU subsequently changed its
rules to prohibit such assistance.

Rule 2.2.c now states that: "An athlete cannot physically assist the forward
progress of another athlete on any part of the course. This will result in
both athletes being disqualified."
