Elena Congost, a visually impaired Spanish marathon runner, is appealing a disqualification from the Paralympic Marathon after she was penalized for releasing her guide rope just two meters from the finish line. Congost’s legal action comes after she finished third but lost her bronze medal to Japan’s Misato Michishita due to the incident. The International Paralympic Committee is now facing a lawsuit in Paris as Congost seeks to reclaim her medal and receive compensation for the alleged damages.
