German Mixed Season may start in the final - jury

Gonschinska: "A mistake has been corrected with another"

The German quartet was first ran on Friday into the final. However, because the jury later withdrawn the US and Dominican Republic's disqualifications, the season only took a nine and was out.

"We submitted a second protest. But we know that jury decisions are rarely corrected," Idriss Gonschinska, DLV board performance sport, declared on Saturday in the ARD. A few hours later, the decision was followed that the German quartet is still allowed to start as a reverse in the final.

Two clear rule violations

"We have two clear rule violations. The relay handover at the US team was outside the change zone. At the Dominican Republic, it has given a job error. The jury was tagged. A mistake has been corrected with another error. It is incredibly bitter for us" , Gonschinska had previously complained.

From the point of view of the DLV "a change that is to be considered, take place inside the interim area. That was not the case. It's incredibly sorry for the athletes. They were so happy. That was a great moment. That's what we wanted Starting in the Olympic Games, "says Gonschinska, whose hope (" maybe there is still a regulation in the sense of athletes, which goes out with the ninth course ") in the end.
