Athletistic/Others. Russian canoeist Zakhar Petrov was stripped of gold at the 2024 World Championships in the 500-meter distance. He led most of the race, but fell over at the end. The Russian team filed a protest, after which Zakhar Petrov found himself in first place again. However, the result was later annulled again.
The Secretary General of the All-Russian Kayak and Canoe Federation Elena Iskhakova said that a repeated protest had been filed. It provides for the possibility of appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

For now, we are solving the problems here, and then we will think about it, but we have the right to do so, “Iskhakova was quoted as saying by Match TV.
