The German Athletic Association has Leverkusen dem German Olympic Sports Federation It is recommended to nominate to participate in the competition in a separate evaluation. DOSB reported to the International Olympic Committee that Rehm was a member of the German Olympic team. The IOC then transferred the case to the World Athletics Federation, but the World Athletics Association declared that Rehm was not eligible and invoked rule 6.3.4, according to which the prosthesis is a mechanical assist device. Therefore, the athlete must prove that he has no advantage.
However, last fall, CAS described this rule as illegal and invalid on American sprinter Blake Leeper, who had two prostheses. The association must provide evidence, not the athlete.
Are prostheses an advantage?
The complaint stated that Riem asked for unlimited participation in the long jump competition, and out-of-competition or individual evaluation was only an alternative requirement. “At some point, you just need to take the next step, and I will do it now. Unfortunately, no one is listening and there is no change,” said Rem, who is missing his right calf, “Sport1.de.”
Rehm is also supported by the German Disabled Sports Association. “Marcus Rem undoubtedly feels that he is a Paralympic athlete, and he wants to adopt an inclusive attitude as a Paralympic athlete in the Olympics,” Chairman Fridheim Julius Beecher will be in Tokyo from August 24th to September 5th on Monday.
This year, Rem clearly met the eligibility criteria for the summer competition with a height of 8.62 meters. However, whether his prosthesis has an advantage is controversial.
Formally, Rem hopes to implement his decision to exclude him from the Olympics and temporarily suspend the game. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung stated that an athlete who meets the qualification standards applicable to everyone despite being “disabled” cannot simply be called a disabled athlete and is assigned to the Paralympic Games alone.
