美國女子4x100米接力重賽晉級 擠掉中國

In one of the strangest sights ever seen on an Olympic race track, the U.S. women's 4x100 relay team were given a second shot at qualifying in Rio after dropping their baton in their earlier qualifying heat on Thursday.

週四在奧運田徑賽場上發生了最怪異的景象之一，美國女子4x100接力重賽晉級，而在早先的預選賽中，美國隊掉了棒。

Team USA petitioned for a re-run after Allyson Felix claimed a Brazilian sprinter elbowed her as she was making a baton pass to teammate English Gardner on the third leg.

美國申訴重賽，美國選手Allyson Felix稱在她傳第三棒給隊友English Gardner時被巴西短跑選手推擠了一下。

The IAAF sided with the Americans, and just after 7pm the four athletes wandered back out onto the race track to re-take their positions.

國際田聯站在了美國人那邊，然後4名美國選手重回賽場重跑。

They were the only athletes on the track at the time, making it a truly bizarre sight.

當時他們是場上的唯一運動員，那景象看起來確實很奇葩。

Their only goal was to beat the time set by the the Chinese who were the slowest to qualify with 42.70.

他們的唯一目標就是打敗中國隊，因爲中國隊以42.70排在了最後的第八名。

The team retook their places in lane 2 of the track, the exact same lane they were places earlier in the day.

美國隊在第二跑道即原來的位置進行了重跑。

In the end, the team won comfortably with a time of 41.77, despite a difficult final changeover.

最終，美國隊以41.77的重跑成績輕鬆晉級，儘管最後一棒的交接出現了點困難。
