Lisa Norden to get gold along with Nicola Spirig?
August 10, 2012By Roger Hospedales
The Swedish Olympic Team has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) with the hopes of awarding Lisa Norden a joint gold medal with declared winner Nicola Spirig of Switzerland.
Spirig was determined to be the winner of the incredible photo finish ending at the London Olympic Games Women’s Triathlon. Swedish officials claim the torso position of both athletes can’t clearly determine the winner.
The CAS is expected to issue its decision on Saturday.
