2021 in sports explained
2021 in sports describes the year's events in world sport.
Major sports news
- In mountain running, the Gansu ultramarathon disaster in the Yellow River Stone Forest, China led 21 runners to die from hypothermia. The poor organization of this government-run race led to a national outcry on the regulations of the sport.[1]
- In sprinting, during the Olympics, Krystsina Tsimanouskaya criticised her Belarusian coaches for entering her in the 4 × 400 m relay, a distance she had never contested, without her consent, after others missed doping tests and were disqualified.[2] Her coaches forced her to fly back to Belarus. She entered the Polish embassy in Tokyo and was granted a humanitarian visa.[3] [4] The International Olympic Committee revoked the accreditation of her coaches and expelled them from the Olympic Village.[5]
