2014 European men's steeplechase Final. Zurich.
The photograph above is of the final of the men's steeplechase with two laps
to go and shows France's Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad (14 on his shorts) leading
the field. The Frenchman crossed the line first but was disqualified for removing
his vest and waving it as he finished !
The Gold Medal was thus awarded to Yoann Kowal - seen here jumping over the
water jump barrier - following a protest from the Spanish team. Their man crossed
the line in fourth place (not Sebastian Martos) and they took advantage of the
rules. In football a yellow card would have been given and not a Red !
