The Paralympics|Elena Congost made a fatal mistake at the Paris Paralympics.
Spanish runner Elena from Congo lost his visually impaired marathon Paralympic bronze in a gruesome way.
Congost was disqualified because he momentarily lost his grip on his guide runner on the final straight Mia From Carol. According to the rules, the athletes must hold on to the rope hanging from their guide throughout the competition.
Congost’s grip loosened when Carol suffered severe cramps and could not move forward.
The Spaniard did not digest the jury’s decision.
“I’m super proud of everything I did, but then they decided to disqualify me because I let go for a second 10 meters before the finish line,” he said The Telegraph by.
Congost said that he only reflexively tried to help his guide runner who was in trouble.
“The rejection was not due to cheating or the fact that I, for example, bumped into another athlete. Everything was taken from me. I can’t think of any reason for it. This feels so unfair and unreal,” Congost gushed.
Elena Congost heard about her rejection after the race.
of Japan Misato Michishita rose to bronze as a result of Congost’s disqualification. Gold celebrates Morocco Fatima El Idrissi with a new world record time of 2:48:36.
Congost, 36, won Paralympic gold at the Rio Marathon in 2016.
