Miss Cheyang! A decade late for an Olympic gold medal

　　On the 21st local time, the "Athletics Integrity Committee", an independent investigation agency under the World Athletics Federation, issued an announcement saying that the 2012 London Olympics women's 20km race walking champion and Russian athlete Yelena Rashmanova was cancelled due to doping issues. Manova herself has accepted the decision.

This means that three Chinese female athletes, Sister Cheyang Shi, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi, won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the 20-kilometer walk in the London Olympics.

　　From 2012 to 2022, ten years of waiting, twists and turns.

Fortunately, the late medal will come eventually.

　　At the London Olympics 10 years ago, in the women's track and field 20km race walk, Chinese athlete Qieyang Shi broke the Asian record with a time of 1 hour, 25 minutes and 16 seconds, and won a bronze medal historically.

Russian players Rashmanova and Kaniskina won the championship and runner-up respectively.

In that game, veteran Liu Hong, who had won the fourth place in the Beijing Olympic Games, ranked fourth, and another Chinese player, Lu Xiuzhi, came in sixth with 1 hour, 27 minutes and 10 seconds.

　　However,

.

Kaniskina, who finished second in the women's 20km race walk at the London Olympics, and Kirdya Pukina, who finished fifth, were found to have doping violations in 2015 and 2019, respectively, and were therefore cancelled from London Olympic results.

　　According to the ruling of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, the International Olympic Committee officially cancelled the results of the above two people on the evening of June 10, 2020.

　　Now, when Yelena Rashmanova, the women's 20km race walking champion at the London Olympics, was also cancelled due to doping issues, three Chinese athletes have won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the event.

"It has been ten years, and I have won my Olympic champion in this way. I am both happy and sad when I hear the news. I am happy that I can become the champion in my heart, and I am happy that I can have the Olympic gold medal. I am sad. I haven’t felt the appearance of a champion, I haven’t gotten the halo of an Olympic champion, although the halo is temporary, I want to have the halo of that moment.”

On September 24, 2021, in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, the track and field women's 20km race walk at the 14th National Games.

　　"Nothing is more worth holding on to than a dream." On social media platforms, several Chinese athletes are still sharing their life moments, most of which are related to track and field.

They love this arena deeply and run freely under a blue sky that they regard as their dream.

　　Fairness has always been the pursuit of the Olympic Games, and I believe that time will give a fair answer in the end.

　　We are willing to accompany Sister Qieyang Shi, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi, and wait for their Olympic medals together!

This waiting is happy.

　　Congratulations again to the three Chinese players!
