Attendees

With regard to the participating nations, there were relatively few restrictions this time compared to previous games. The IOC had withdrawn the recognition of the National Olympic Committee - NOK - of the Netherlands Antilles , but their athletes were allowed to participate as so-called independent Olympic participants, provided they met the qualification requirements. There was just one other limitation. This concerned South Sudan , which did not yet have its own NOK. But their athletes could also be there in London under the same conditions as the athletes from the Netherlands Antilles. The marathon runner Guor Marial , who lives in the USA, also made use of this.

At these games, too, the topic of South and North Korea was at least marginally topical again. At a women's soccer match between Colombia and North Korea in Glasgow the South Korean flag was accidentally shown instead of the North Korean flag and it took a long time for the mishap to be corrected.

Competitions

The competition program was identical to that of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing . The competitions for women and men were largely aligned. There was and is only one discipline that was and still is missing in the women's area compared to the men's offer: when walking, only one distance is carried out, as opposed to two distances for men. Further differences can be found in the hurdle height on the two hurdle distances and the length of the shorter hurdle route, which is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women, in order to take into account the different stride lengths of the sexes. In addition, a heptathlon was and will be fought as an all- around for women and a decathlon for men .

Olympic Stadium

In contrast to many stadiums built in earlier games, the London Olympic Stadium was completed much faster than originally planned. This also had an impact on the costs, which were also lower than initially estimated - a novelty in Olympic history. The requirements of environmental compatibility and sustainability were also taken into account to a particular degree through a lightweight construction using less steel than usual and through long-term considerations for integrating the stadium into an overall nature-friendly leisure concept.

qualification

Qualification criteria

A total of about 2000 athletes took part in the competitions. Each NOK was allowed to use three athletes per discipline if they had achieved the A standard in the qualification period or one athlete per discipline if they had achieved the B standard. In both cases, a reserve athlete could still be nominated if he had also achieved the respective standard. If no woman or no man from a country had qualified, they were allowed to use one athlete in any discipline, regardless of the standard, with the exception of the 10,000 meters, the obstacle course and the all-around competition.

The norms for 10,000 meters, marathon, walking and all-around competitions had to be achieved between January 1, 2011 and July 8, 2012, for all other disciplines between May 1, 2011 and July 8, 2012. The IAAF announced the standards in April 2011. Qualification competitions were all competitions organized by the IAAF and the individual member associations if they met the requirements of the IAAF. These included u. a. the use of trained referees, electronic time measurement for running decisions, wind measurement for sprints or public access to the competition. For walking and marathon only qualification competitions announced by the IAAF on January 1, 2011 were permitted.

To qualify the relays, the two best times that a relay of a NOK had achieved between January 1, 2011 and July 2, 2012 were added together. The 16 best relays qualified for all four competitions.

Athletes who were 18 or 19 years old as of December 31, 2012 were not allowed to participate in the marathon or the 50 km walk. If athletes were 16 or 17 years old on the cut-off date, they were not allowed to participate in the marathon, 10,000-meter run, walking, decathlon and the men's throwing disciplines. Athletes who were not 16 years old on the cut-off date were generally not allowed to take part in the competitions.

doping

The number of doping cases increased in these games to unimaginable dimensions. Athletics was also unacceptably affected by this. Some of the affected athletes were caught shortly after their competition, others were not allowed to compete in the first place because of positive doping tests, the result of which became official before the start of the games, and numerous other athletes were only caught many years later during follow-up checks on the preserved samples using new testing methods. For those concerned, this usually resulted in the withdrawal of their results, a request for the return of any medals they may have received and often bans of different lengths. In the medal table listed in this article, the correspondingly changed results in the individual disciplines are fully taken into account. The swamp into which athletics had found itself continued in an intensified manner, and an end was still not really in sight. The stupid athletes were and are the honest athletes who received their medals years later, who were denied participation in final fights by the doping fraudsters and who lost the funding they were actually entitled to because the real placements were only verified a long time after the competitions.

The list of doping offenders is much longer than in the previous games:

• Tyson Gay , USA - 100-meter run (initially fourth) and 4 x 100-meter relay (initially silver). As a result of a positive doping test, all competition results since July 15, 2012 have been withdrawn from him.
• The other runners who were involved in the success of the US 4 x 100 meter relay had to surrender their medals after a decision in May 2015.
• Diego Palomeque , Colombia - 400 meter run (excluded from participation before the start). He was not allowed to compete after a positive A and B test for testosterone.
• Amine Laalou , Morocco - 1,500 meter run (refused entry to Great Britain). After a positive doping result at the beginning of August in connection with the Diamond League event in Monaco , he was refused entry to Great Britain for the Games. He was then banned for two years.
• Hassan Hirt , France - 5000 meter run (eliminated in the preliminary stages). He tested positive for EPO . The doping test was taken on August 3rd in Rouen before the Olympic competition. The result was only available after the 5000 meter lead. Hirt was banned from the French federation and subsequently disqualified.
• Hussain Jamaan Alhamdah , Saudi Arabia - 5000 meter run (eliminated in the preliminary stages ). He was subsequently disqualified for manipulating his biological passport .
• Valery Borchin , Russia - 20 km walk (competition abandoned). He was banned for a doping offense on January 20, 2015 with retroactive effect from October 15, 2012 for eight years. His results were canceled for three periods: July 14th to September 15, 2009, June 16 to September 27, 2011 and April 11 to September 3, 2012.
• Vladimir Kanaikin Russia - 20 km walk (competition abandoned). He was convicted of doping abuse by means of his blood passport and banned for life because he was a repeat offender.

• Sergei Kirdjapkin , Russia - 50 km walk (first first). Because of a doping offense, he was subsequently deprived of first place by a decision by the International Court of Justice for Sports .

In July 2013, the IAAF confirmed a lifelong ban, which was subsequently imposed by the disciplinary commission of the Belarusian anti-doping agency.
• Ivan Zichan , Belarus - hammer throw (excluded from participation before the start). After positive tests became known to him several times before the games, he was not allowed to participate.
• Pavel Kryvitski , Belarus - hammer throw (eliminated in qualification). He was subsequently disqualified by the IOC . During follow-up examinations of his doping test, the prohibited substances dehydrochloromethyltestosterone and stanozolol were found .

• Aslı Çakır Alptekin , Turkey - 1500 meter run (first first). In May 2013 it became known that blood tests that indicate doping had been found in her.

Sporting successes

The level of performance at these Olympic Games was very high. Although the quality decreased after the large number of athletes who had to be disqualified for doping reasons over the years after the games, it was still at a high level afterwards. Four world records were set:

> 800 meter run : David Lekuta Rudisha ( Kenya ) - 1: 40.91 min

> 4 x 100 meter relay : Jamaica ( Nesta Carter , Michael Frater , Yohan Blake , Usain Bolt ) - 36.84 s

> 4 x 100 meter relay: USA ( Tianna Madison , Allyson Felix , Bianca Knight , Carmelita Jeter ) - 40.82 s

> 20 km walk : Jelena Laschmanowa (Russia) - 1:25:02 h

In addition, the Olympic record was improved five times in eleven disciplines, twice for women and three times for men.

The most successful nation was once again the United States with nine Olympic champions and a total of 28 medals. Jamaica , Great Britain and Russia each had four gold medals in their accounts. Ethiopia followed with three Olympic victories. There were two gold medals each for Kenya , Australia and Poland . All other nations won at most one gold medal in athletics.

For the individual athletes, the following services are particularly worth mentioning.

There were three doping cases in this discipline:

The originally fifth-placed Russian Anna Nasarowa was convicted of doping abuse using dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (Oral-Turinabol), which resulted in her disqualification.

Belarusian Nastassja Mirontschyk-Ivanova , who originally came in seventh, was disqualified after a positive doping test.

The Turkish Karin Melis Mey qualified for the final was excluded from the final because of a doping test that tested positive at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki . The IAAF World Athletics Federation learned of the athlete's doping violation too late to prevent participation in the long jump qualification in London.

Even before the games, the Greek Paraskevi Papachristou was banned from the Greek NOK because of a racist comment on Twitter .

A fourth doping case could arise in fourth-placed Radēviča, because in November 2018 she was provisionally suspended because the prohibited substance oxandrolone was detected in her in a subsequent sample .

8th	Sophie Hitchon	GBR	69.33

Final: August 10, 2012, 8:35 p.m. (CEST)

Betty Heidler's width in the fifth attempt was initially not taken into account due to a software error. The distance was not accepted by the electronic measuring system because it exactly matched the distance of Lyssenko throwing in front of her and was therefore interpreted as a fault of the referee. For Heidler, the distance of the athlete throwing after her was registered. The width of 77.12 m could only be confirmed by re-measuring by hand.

There were six doping cases in this competition. This affected four of the finalists and one athlete who had left the qualification. In addition, a female thrower had already been removed from her team before the competition due to doping.

In October 2016, the original gold medalist Tatiana Lysenko from Russia was stripped of her medal for doping.

The initially sixth-placed Belarusian Aksana Mjankowa was disqualified for violating the doping regulations as in 2008 .

Moldovan Zalina Petrivskaya was also deprived of her seventh place due to doping abuse.

Marija Bespalowa , also from Russia, initially placed tenth. She was banned from competitions for four years because of steroid doping and her result was annulled.
Gulfija Chanafejewa , another Russian, was eliminated in the qualification. Her result from the London Games was canceled after a positive doping test.

Marina Marghieva from the Republic of Moldova was removed from her Olympic team after a positive doping test before the start of the Games .
