Elimination round edit

The 16 best racers advanced to the elimination round.[5][6] During the semifinals, although the automatic sensors at the finishing line claimed Lee as the winner with the difference of 0.01 seconds, Kosir challenged the result when the photo finish seemed to show that he had crossed the finish line first.[7][8] The result stood, but Kosir later went on to win bronze.
