The results of the last round (sprint) were contested after excellent performances by Chinese competitors, leading to a delay of the official results. The International Orienteering Federation deemed that the results stood in March 2020 following a review, stating that "none of the alleged elements of the cheating claims occurred or can be substantiated", and that "analyses show that those who produced the best results are shown and known to be capable of such running speeds".[4][5] The review was requested after the 2019 Military World Games, also held in China, in which Chinese competitors were disqualified from the middle race.[6] This decision was upheld by the ethics committee (i.e the competitors remain disqualified).[7][8]
