Gold medallist Woods must redo race after appeal

Scottish Para-athlete Melanie Woods has been ordered to redo the women’s 1500m T54 race at the Commonwealth Games following a successful appeal. The decision puts Woods at risk of losing the gold medal and the Games record she initially secured in the event.

The re-run was mandated after officials reviewed the circumstances surrounding the original race. The outcome of the upcoming repeat competition will determine the final medal standings for the event.
