Canadian race-walker Evan Dunfee has plenty of appeal after losing, winning, losing bronze


RIO DE JANERIO — By now, all of Canada knows about the collision that bumped Evan Dunfee out of medal contention in Friday’s 50-kilometre Olympic race walk. The ensuing bump threw Dunfee off stride — although it looked like ­the Canadian might have initiated the contact with his left arm. A subsequent Japanese appeal overturned the foul, and the bronze medal went back to Arai. “This is a hearteningly honourable way to react to possible medal upgrade,” Britain’s Paula Radcliffe, the fastest female marathoner in history, wrote on Twitter. “If it doesn’t feel honest, it isn’t.”This is a hearteningly honourable way to react to possible medal upgrade- if it doesn't feel honest, it isn't.
