Records

edit

Lu Pinpin set the world record in women's 500m obstacle race during the military pentathlon event.[4][5]

Controversy

edit

Chinese orienteering teams comprising both men and women counterparts were disqualified and their results were also rejected by the event organizers citing cheating offenses on the athletes for using illegal secret paths and markings with the assistance of spectators to claim medals in the individual middle distance events. China originally claimed a gold and a silver medal in women's category as well as a silver in men's category prior to the disqualification.[6] The issue was later notified by the International Orienteering Federation announced officially that the medals won't be counted as part of the multi-sport event and clarified on the disqualification of the Chinese athletes.
