Usually in sports when you break a rule you get disqualified, or the result doesn’t count. Maybe it’s more of a guideline or recommendation?
Should there be a rule? If Tove or Mathias had won on 45 minutes, should the competition then be canceled as a championship race and the medals be melted and recycled?
