Controversy Erupts: Top Four Finishers Disqualified in Beijing Half-Marathon

The organizers of the Beijing half-marathon announced on Friday the disqualification of the top four finishers from the event. This decision comes in response to the controversial victory of a Chinese runner on Sunday, who received unfair assistance from three other competitors. The race's finish videos raised numerous questions and caused an uproar on Chinese social networks, prompting the organizers to initiate an investigation at the beginning of the week.
