The Spanish Paralympic Committee says it is appealing the decision that led to the disqualification of Elena Congost during the 2024 Paralympics T12 women's marathon. In a statement obtained by CNN Sport earlier this month,

Paralympian Elena Congost was disqualified and stripped of her bronze medal after helping her guide, who had a cramp in his leg, at the finish line at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.

A visually impaired runner briefly let go of the tether to her guide after he got muscle cramps near the finish line, costing her a bronze medal.

The guide of a Paralympic marathoner who was disqualified after he had a cramp at finish line at the 2024 Paralympics spoke out against the 'injustice' of the situation.
