It's funny how 5th place for Thorup gives the feeling "So close to a medal!", even though it wasn't close at all.

Pretty sure that Kramer just worked for Verweij.

So if you finish 4th over the line with no points and one of the first 3 across the line gets disqualified you can literally move from last place to a medal?

 

on paper, yes...

now it remains to be seen what they do if the DQ comes months/years later because of a positive drug test...

in this case, I think they only upgrade the final ranking of the competition, without recalculating the sprints (so, the 4th at the finish line not necessarily ends up with a medal)...

but for sure if the DQ comes at the end of the race because of an infraction on the track, then the 4th at the line gets upgraded to 3rd in the final ranking...

30 countries in medal table

So, first medal for since 1998, and first silver since 1948.
