                  (221227) -- BEIJING, Dec. 27, 2022 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on Aug. 6, 2021 shows members of Team China enter the court before the men's 4x100m relay final at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, in Tokyo, Japan. China's bronze medal in the men's 4x100 meters relay at last year's Tokyo Olympics was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in May after Britain was stripped of the silver over a doping violation. The Chinese quartet of Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang posted a time of 37.79 seconds to finish behind Italy, Britain and Canada in Tokyo. But the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on February 18 that Britain's first-leg runner, Chijindu Ujah, had violated anti-doping regulations. This resulted in the upgrade of Canada and China to silver and bronze medals, respectively. (Xinhua/Li Yibo)
