However a re-run of the race was ordered by the International Paralympic Committee following protests by the Australian, US and Swiss teams after 6 competitors were involved in a crash on the penultimate lap.^[2] The re-run race resulted in the same three athletes winning medals but in a different order.^[3] †† Rebecca Chin of Great Britain was originally awarded the silver medal in the women's discus throw F37–38 event. Following a challenge to her classification, Chin was deemed ineligible for the event, stripped of her medal, and her results were erased.^[4] * David Weir was initially awarded the gold medal in the men's 800 m T54 but a re-run of the race was ordered after a lane violation was discovered. However, following a letter from Kurt Fearnley and the Australian authorities to the IPC, asking that, in the spirit of sportsmanship, the result not be overturned the re-run was cancelled and the medals reinstated.^[5] Boccia See main article: Boccia at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.
