Chinanews.com, December 26. At the 2020 Plenary Session of the Chinese Olympic Committee on the 25th, Li Lingwei, a member of the International Olympic Committee and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, respectively replaced the Chinese race walking athlete Si Tian, who won the silver and bronze medals in the London Olympics. Feng and Liu Hong presented medals and badges.
In the women’s 20-kilometer walking final of the London Olympics on August 11, 2012, Russian player Rashmanova won the gold medal with a world record time of 1 hour 25 minutes and 02 seconds. Kanishkina won the gold medal with 1 hour 25 seconds. She won the runner-up in minutes and 09 seconds. Qi Yangshi won the bronze medal with an Asian record of 1 hour 25 minutes and 16 seconds. Liu Hong ranked fourth with a time of 1 hour 26 minutes and 0 seconds.
But then Kanishkina was exposed to a drug scandal. The gold medals she won at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin and the 2011 World Championships in Daegu were cancelled, and the silver medal in the London Olympics was also withdrawn.
In this way, Sister Qi Yangshi won the silver medal in the London Olympics and Liu Hong won the bronze medal in the London Olympics.
The situation of Si Tianfeng, who had won the London Olympic medal together with Liu Hong, was also very similar.
In the 2012 London Olympics men's 50-kilometer race walking competition, at the time Russian star Kodyapukin won the Olympic record with a time of 3 hours, 35 minutes and 59 seconds. Australian Tarent and Chinese player Si Tianfeng won the silver and bronze medals.
After the Russian track and field doping scandal broke out, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) cancelled the athletes involved in the corresponding time.
However, the IAAF believes that RUSADA is operating "selectively", and they put forward different opinions on six cases.
Kodyapukin's gold medal is clearly one of them, and the International Court of Arbitration for Sports has supported the IAAF's allegations.
