Sifan Hassan won the women's marathon in an Olympic record time of 2 hours, 22 minutes, 55 seconds, securing her third distance medal at the Paris Games.
Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia lodged a protest against Hassan, claiming obstruction during the race, but the Jury of Appeal rejected it.
Hassan employed her signature strategy of staying behind the leaders before making a late-race surge, showcasing a remarkable kick in the marathon.
As Hassan made her final pass, Assefa attempted to block her path by elbowing and squeezing her against the course barrier, leading to a contentious situation in the race.
