unfortunately, though, she was disqualified from the race because she had gone outside of her lane. she has subsequently went... withdrawn from the race. a lot of people disappointed no doubt katerina johnson—thompson will be very disappointed. she is the world champion back in 2019, and we know that she as this great rivalry with belgium, the defending olympic champion, so she is going to see how she goes. she didn't want to speak to any media afterwards. she was pretty upset about it. so she will exit the race at this stage, but heading into day two, it is the dutch athlete who heads the standings as they head into the final day of competition there. it's very early morning here in tokyo. just behind us at tokyo bay, the open water swimming, the marathon for man has got under way. we have hector going for that one in that one, the defending champion in that.
