they took away the 50 World Cup winners from the back, handed over the gold to someone else, and then returned it to the original winner

The Saturday, which brought the last swimming finals at the World Water Championships in Budapest, brought unusual scenes, and the man had a regular medal exchange after 50 backs. Originally, the American Justin Ress became the world champion with a time of 24.12 (which is the 14th best time of all time in this run), but he was ruled out after the video, as it was found that just a moment before he hit the finish line, but it was completely submerged, which is irregular except for the dolphins after the rounds.

Resst was no longer called to the medal, and compatriot Hunter Armstrong could take over the World Cup gold instead. Armstrong, the world leader in 50 backs, was visibly upset that Ress had won his first individual World Championship title by depriving him of medals – he had previously won in Budapest with the 4×100 fast gear and the 4×100 mixed gear.

“I was very proud of Justin It was a great race. Only 0.02 seconds separated us. I would have been second to stand on the podium with him rather than get the championship title by excluding him. I did not want it this way. I was just incredibly proud of him. He is an amazing athlete, great talent, and completely raw. He can do so much. That this was taken away from him is a suck. ” He told Armstrong even when he claimed to be the world champion.

Armstrong, on the other hand, could not call himself an individual world champion for long, as Ress’s exclusion was revoked after an hour, so Armstrong was forced to give him the gold medal, which he was happy to do.

Ress was later given a special award ceremony, at which point he stood alone on the podium to receive the gold medal. But with the revocation of the exclusion, a circulation of coins began: Ksawery Masiuk was forced to return the silver to Armstrong, and the Polish received the bronze medal he had originally obtained from Thomas Ceccon of Italy.

After the decision, Csaba Sós, the federal captain of the Hungarian swimming team, was puzzled in front of the M4 Sport camera. “Why do you get a gold medal? Why was the exclusion revoked? That is my question. The receipt was irregular. Anyone else does it, they send it home. I don’t like that, ”he said
