The Japanese runner was disqualified upon review but won his appeal, and Arai got the bronze medal back. “You want to pass them with authority.”So after 49 kilometres Dunfee was fighting to keep himself from falling, and he and Japan’s Harooki Arai were trading attacks, and the Japanese runner came brushing past, aggressively. First, Evan Dunfee, of Vancouver, who spent Friday fighting for a medal in the 50-kilometre walk. He thought it was a fair move: he figured, even if I won an appeal I couldn’t accept a medal with a clear conscience. And so I think you know, how I performed under those conditions, I’m truly really proud of myself.
