According to the Sprint Relay winsplit results, Russia was disqualified because of a missing punch on control 13-122.
On the TV coverage, we can see Gemperle punching above the control. She punches high, but not higher than she does on control 8 for example.
I guess athletes have full informations about the air punching system and its limits. Therefore they must adapt their punching technics to the system. Nevertheless, after such a good race and not showing an intentional cheating, disqualification seems harsh to me.
Did you ever write an article about those air punching systems ? Can you post some links ? Thank you.
