Commonwealth Games: the English disqualified and deprived of the gold medal in the 4x400m relay

Terrible outcome for the English in the 4x400m relay at the Commonwealth Games. While they had beaten Canada by a thousandth of a second to win gold (in 3’25”83), the locals were finally disqualified on Sunday in Birmingham. In question, the exit of Jodie Williams from the limits of her corridor when taking over from Victoria Ohuruogu.

Despite their appeal, the English were unsuccessful and gave up the victory to Canada. Jamaica and Scotland thus recover the silver and bronze medals. The Kingdom will console itself with the men’s 4x100m, which had won gold earlier in the day, ahead of Trinidad and Tobago and Nigeria.
