Quick Glance: Scandal at Beijing Half Marathon: 4 Runners Disqualified
- Following an unusual finish at the Beijing Half Marathon, the top finishers were disqualified as three runners from Africa seemingly made way for a Chinese competitor to win.
- The finish line incident caused a commotion, prompting questions about why the three other runners appeared to yield the victory to He.
- Subsequent to the investigation, all four runners were disqualified for the pacemakers deliberately slowing down in the final two kilometers of the race, aiding He's victory.
- Confirmation was provided by the organizers that although Xtep invited Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu as pacemakers, they were mistakenly registered as ordinary competitors.
