On 29 November 2016, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has issued decision that all competitive results of original bronze medalist Tatyana Chernova of Russia between 15 August 2011 and 22 July 2013 are annulled.
The two principals were the past two World Champions, Ennis and
Chernova. Tantalisingly, their personal bests sums were respectively
7076 and 7079. There could hardly have been more pressure on Ennis,
Britain’s most successful woman athlete since 2009. She was sched-
uled to compete on the first morning of Olympic athletics in front a
capacity crowd of 80,000. Her response could not have been qualita-
tive, for she thrillingly won her hurdles heat in 12.54. Not only a world
heptathlon record, but also a British record for that individual event.
Ennis’s high jump of 1.86 was not so impressive (her best being 1.95),
but she still placed third in that event to maintain her lead. The high
jump winner was Athens silver medallist Skujytė, and the Lithuanian
did even better in the next event with her own world heptathlon best of
17.31. After three events, Skujytė led from Ennis, 3126 to 3062. The
rest were 100 points behind. Ennis went back into the lead with another
dazzling track performance, a 22.83 200m just behind Schippers in the
final heat. The Briton led with 4158 overnight from Skujytė (3974) and
Zelinka (3903). Chernova was ninth on 3849.
At the 2011 World Championships Chernova overcame a 151 point
first-day deficit to defeat Ennis, but in London the gap was 309. It was
clear that the Russian could only win if Ennis faltered, but that never
happened. The British athlete long jumped 6.48 and threw the javelin a
personal best of 47.29. Ennis led by 188 before the 800m, which rep-
resented the unbreachable margin of around 13 seconds. Yet she still
won the final event in style, leading after the first lap, succumbing to
Chernova, then surging again in the finishing straight. Skujytė was
more vulnerable and despite running hard, was overtaken by three
women on points.
One of those, Schwarzkopf, thought she had taken overall silver
but was dismayed when her name did not appear in the standings ini-
tially shown on the scoreboard. She had been wrongly disqualified for
a lane violation in the 800m. Happily this mistake was rectified in time
for the medal ceremony. Chernova took bronze just ahead of Lyudmyla
Yosypenko (6618), though the Ukrainian was eventually disqualified
when abnormalities, dating back to 2011, were detected in her Athlete
Biological Passport. A further retrospective doping case concerning
Chernova is ongoing as at June 10, 2016.
