update ranking is the first step, the medal replacement procedure is in progress
On August 13 last year, the World Athletics Federation Integrity Committee announced that the Uja , who represented the British team to win the men's 4×100m relay silver medal in Tokyo Olympics, was found to use two prohibited substances. The World Athletics Federation temporarily banned it and will punish athletes outside the Olympics according to its own disciplinary punishment procedures.
Since then, the outside world has been speculating whether the Chinese men's relay team, which won the fourth place, will win the bronze medal? As everyone expects, as organizations such as International Olympic Committee , World Athletics Federation initiate relevant procedures, Su Bingtian and his teammates are getting closer and closer to winning medals.
On February 18 this year, International Court of Arbitration for Sports announced that it had confirmed Uja's doping violations. His Olympic results and the British relay team were cancelled and his medals, points, prizes and certificates will be confiscated.
According to relevant procedures, Olympic medal replacement needs to go through multiple stages, mainly responsible by the International Olympic Committee. The International Olympic Committee will first ask the International Single Sports Federation to provide a new official ranking, and then confiscate the original medals, prizes, certificates, etc., and at the same time, the athletes who receive the medals will undergo doping test for again.
After the International Olympic Committee Executive Committee approves the medal redistribution plan, the athletes will notify the next steps of the Olympic Committee in each country and region. Athletes who receive medals can choose to "receive" medals on different occasions, which can be the next Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, , or they can win medals in activities held by the International Olympic Committee, International Single Sports Federation, and their own Olympic Committee.
World Athletics Federation has just updated the ranking of the men's 4×100m relay finals at the Tokyo Olympics. According to a query by Beijing News reporter, the ranking of the International Olympic Committee’s official website has not been updated yet, and the procedure for Olympic medal replacement is obviously still in progress.

case
Gong Lijiao has received medals twice, Liu Hong 2012 medals were reissue
This is not the first time that Chinese athletes have received Olympic medals. Due to the opponent's stimulant violation, Gong Lijiao, Liu Hong and other athletes have all reissue Olympic medals.
Before winning the Tokyo Olympic women's shot put championship, Gong Lijiao won the Olympic silver medal and bronze medal, but never stood on the podium.
2008 Beijing Olympics , Gong Lijiao originally won the fifth place in women's shot put, but in 2016 and 2017, the runner-up and third place in women's shot put in Beijing Olympics were found to have violated stimulant regulations. It was not until December 26, 2019 that Gong Lijiao received the reissue of the Beijing Olympics women's shot put bronze medal.
2012 London Olympics , Gong Lijiao originally won the fourth place in the women's shot put. Shortly after the Olympics ended, the International Olympic Committee announced the deprivation of the championship. In December of the same year, Gong Lijiao won the bronze medal. Four years after the end of the London Olympics, the silver medalist was also found to have violated the stimulant rules, and Gong Lijiao won the silver medal again.

also received the medals from the London Olympics. Among them, Chinese race walkers Cheyang Shi, Liu Hong, and Si Tianfeng . In the 2012 London Olympics, Cheyang Shi and Liu Hong originally won the third and fourth place of the women’s 20-kilometer race walk , and Si Tianfeng won the bronze medal for the men’s 20-kilometer race walk. Because the top opponent was found to have a stimulant violation, the three won the silver medal, bronze medal and silver medal respectively in December 2020.
is also the Olympic men's 4×100m relay final, and the 2008 Beijing Olympic champion Jamaica team was also confiscated.In 2016, due to the fact that the athletes in the team were found to have a stimulant violation during the re-examination, the International Olympic Committee canceled the Jamaica team's gold medal, and the Trinidad and Tobago team won the gold medal in 2018.
Considering the complexity of Olympic medal replacement procedures, athletes often have to wait a long time to get the supplementary medal. However, since the Chinese men's relay team won the bronze medal in the replacement, what's the harm in waiting for a while?
