Bermuda's Flora Duffy crossed the finish line third at a triathlon test event for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on Thursday, but she was awarded the victory after a double disqualification.
According to Reuters (h/t ESPN.com), British triathletes Jessica Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown were each disqualified for crossing the finish line at the same time purposefully. The athletes held hands as they completed the event.
International Triathlon Union officials cited a rule stating competitors cannot "finish in a contrived tie situation where no effort to separate the finish times has been made" while making their decision.
