five people in a race - three people tie for first, who gets gold, silver and bronze?

Answer 1

they all get gold, there is no silver or bronze awarded.

Answer 2

Well, the three tie people would get the Gold for sure and the rest will receive Silver and Bronze respectively. However, considering the tie situation, it's quite unlikely to happen like the you've just said though, because in each "Sprint competition" competitors are always kept at so close look through modern technology that their speed is determined by a split second factor.In this situation, each of the runners would obviously be little faster or slower than each other while their speed is being determined by a spit second factor.You could be slower than me just by .1012 seconds (a fraction of Seconds are calculated ) although we both are in the same speed and are about to touch the finishing line almost together. That's how they decide. Anyway, good question.

Answer 3

In the Olympics, and usually only in the Olympics, the three who tie for first get the gold, and no silver or bronze are handed out.
The hard part is determining who gets to keep the gold medal being handed out during the medal ceremony, since only 1 gold medal will have been made for the event at the time. Of the three who tie, only 1 person gets the medal right away, the other 2 have to wait for medals to be manufactured for them
However, in other competitions outside of the Olympics, depending on the sport, they look back at other rounds and have a way of scoring points to determine the who gets gold, silver, and bronze

Answer 4

With today's timing technology (races timed to one-one-thousandth of a second), this would be almost impossible. In any event, most competitions only recognize to timing to one-one-hundreth of a second.

But to answer your question, the first three would share the gold medal (each would be awarded their own) and there would be no silver or bronze awarded since three medals have been awarded.

For example, if two tied for the gold, then the third athlete to finish would get a bronze, not silver.

Answer 5

all of them 3 gold 1 silver 1 bronze

Answer 6

If I'm not mistaken, like in horse-racing, they have the fast-cam play at regular speed (which turns out to be very slow-motion in the screen). It shows all players very clearly through their sprints without a haze and pauses as each player hits the line. The first to have anything on his body touch the finish line wins gold, second silver and third bronz. There has never been a case where all three hit the finish at the same milli-microsecond.

This is implemented in regular races.

Answer 7

First 3 gold, fourth silver, fifth bronze

Answer 8

The three who finished first would normally be disqualified for doping so the remaining two runners would then be pushed up to gold and silver leaving nobody left to claim the bronze.

Answer 9

those in first go to a rematch days later fgor the gold and the second silver and then 3rd bronze

Answer 10

If your talking about the Olympics or an AAU event or most other sporting events, the first three people get gold, the others medals are not given out. The 4th and 5th people only get credit for finishing 4th and 5th.

Answer 11

This is probably not going to happen with today's computer timing but if it did the three first place finishers would all get a gold medal and no other medals would be awarded.
