The Friendship Games organizing committee announced the replacement of the shield due to a lack of timing during the swimming tournament.
During the first swims of the third day of the competition, there was a timing error.
“Unfortunately, the timing system failed today. Every day before the final swims, the system is tested, everything worked as usual. After the first failure, they changed the shield, tested it, everything worked fine. On the next swim, the result was again not displayed on the scoreboard. We have replaced the controller where the wires are distributed. At the end of the evening session, we will proceed to an audit.
The timing system has a duplicate results system. On failure, if the shield does not work, the save system is activated, and both results are sent to the computer. Athletes get the result with which they sailed. All the results are valid, the press service of the Friendship Games organizing committee told .
