Derara Hurisa pasará a la historia como el primer atleta que intenta engañar a los jueces con sus zapatillas, y le pillan.
The Ethiopian crossed the goal with a chrono of 2:09:22, which is an average step of 3: 03/km, although this brand has been achieved with a shoe that none of its competitors could use.
The coordinator of the race, Hannes Langer, declared: «We emphasize the rules on the shoes a lot in the technical meeting.Unfortunately, we had no choice but to disqualify the athlete.[…] It's the first time I saw something like that.I am sure that from now on there will be some type of control to prevent something like this from happening again in an important race ».
Consequently, Keniata Leonard Langat, who had ended three seconds from Hurisa, has been declared the winner.
The career organization also made the mistake of celebrating material review after crossing the goal, so the athlete might not have been aware that it was wrong, although no one so far has been able to wear these shoes.
All this, when the review is usually carried out between one and two days before the race.
The model in question is the Adizero Prime X, who fail to comply.
This model can only be used in training, or by non -elite athletes.
The race, normally held in April, was carried out in difficult conditions with many runners complaining about extreme heat and with the unfortunate death of a participant in the half marathon.
