Overview
- Race commissaires in Santiago miscalculated Madison points and displayed incorrect scores throughout before revising the result after the finish.
- The official podium is Belgium’s Lyndsay de Vilder and Fabio van den Bossche with 81 points, Great Britain with 73, and Denmark with 71; Germany placed fourth with 64.
- In a post-race statement, Roger Kluge argued that while athletes are penalized for mistakes, officials tried to settle a serious error with an apology, which he called unacceptable.
- Germany’s coach Lucas Schädlich said accurate live scoring would have changed their approach, noting they would have marked Denmark more closely.
- The corrected result stands with no reported appeal or reversal, leaving Germany with two medals including Moritz Augenstein’s earlier Scratch gold.
