Why no other runner embraced Adaejah Hodge after her 200m win

为何无人拥抱：阿德贾·霍奇夺冠后的冷遇

Australian sprint star Torrie Lewis says she is not surprised no-one embraced gold medallist Adaejah Hodge after the women's 200m final.

澳洲短跑名将托里·刘易斯表示，对于女子200米决赛后无人拥抱金牌得主阿德贾·霍奇，她并不感到意外。

Lewis finished sixth in her pet event after something of a surprise bronze in the 100m final a few nights prior.

在几天前的100米决赛中意外摘得铜牌后，刘易斯在她最擅长的项目（pet event）中仅获得第六名。

The 21-year-old won her semifinal and was one of the fastest qualifiers into Friday's final, local time, where she was drawn alongside Hodge, who broke the Commonwealth Games record in the semis.

这位21岁的选手赢得了她的半决赛，并以最快的成绩之一晋级周五的决赛（当地时间），在决赛中她与霍奇同组竞技，而霍奇在半决赛中打破了英联邦运动会纪录。

Hodge stormed to gold in 22.07 seconds, but the customary hugs and embraces between competitors were absent.

霍奇以22.07秒的成绩强势夺金，但选手们之间惯常的拥抱与致意却缺席了。

"Let's just say I'm not surprised no-one shook her hand and I'm not supposed to say any more than that," Lewis said.

刘易斯说：“我们就说我对没人跟她握手并不感到意外吧，我也不该说更多了。”

She added: "I've been told not to say anything. I would love to say some words, but I'm not allowed to. "I think everyone knows what I would like to say, but just fill in the blank yourself."

她补充道：“有人告诫我不要说任何事。我很想说点什么，但不被允许。我想每个人都知道我想说什么，只需自行填补空白。”

If you are slightly confused, the context goes back to 2024.

如果你对此感到些许困惑，背景要追溯到2024年。

Hodge, from the British Virgin Islands, tested positive for a banned substance from a sample given at the under-20 world championships in 2024, where she won the 200m ahead of Lewis on August 30 in Lima.

来自英属维尔京群岛的霍奇在2024年于利马举行的U20世界锦标赛上，于8月30日在200米项目中击败刘易斯夺冠，但随后提交的样本被检测出含有违禁物质。

Hodge tested positive for banned metabolic modulator GW1516, also known as Cardarine or Endurobol, which increases fat metabolism and improves exercise adaptation, according to Sport Integrity Australia.

据澳大利亚体育诚信机构称，霍奇检测出违禁代谢调节剂GW1516（又称Cardarine或Endurobol），该物质能增加脂肪代谢并改善运动适应性。

Lewis was elevated to the gold-medal position when Hodge was banned in March 2025, with the Australian celebrating being "the 1st clean runner across the line" on Instagram.

当霍奇在2025年3月被禁赛时，刘易斯被提升至金牌位置，这位澳洲选手在Instagram上庆祝成为“第一个冲过终点线的干净选手”。

The findings from an Athletics Integrity Unit investigation at the time revealed that Hodge was told about the positive test in November and she gave "an explanation" and "additional information" that convinced investigators she accidentally (on the balance of probabilities) ingested the substance.

当时田径诚信机构的调查结果揭示，霍奇在11月得知药检阳性结果，她提供了“解释”和“额外信息”，使调查人员确信她系意外（基于概率权衡）摄入了该物质。

Hodge's explanation and "substantial assistance" in the case meant what would have been a two-year ban, taking her through to August 27 this year, was reduced by seven months, allowing her to resume competing in January and make it to Glasgow.

霍奇的解释及在案件中的“实质性协助”，使得原本为期两年的禁赛（将她禁赛至今年8月27日）减少了七个月，允许她于1月恢复参赛并前往格拉斯哥。

Both runners received automatic places in the semifinals of the 200m, with Lewis winning the first race in 22.64 and Hodge running a Games record of 22.01 to win hers, setting up their first rematch since that infamous race in Peru two years ago.

两名选手均自动获得200米半决赛席位，刘易斯以22.64秒赢得第一组比赛，霍奇则以22.01秒的赛会纪录赢得第二组，为她们自两年前那场臭名昭著的秘鲁比赛以来的首次重赛拉开了序幕。

Hodge said she came out with a point to prove.

霍奇表示，她此次参赛是为了证明一点。

"I've put all that behind me. I just wanted [to] move forward and work extra hard to show I didn't need it. I never will need it," she said.

她说：“我把一切都抛在脑后了。我只想继续前行，加倍努力，以证明我不需要它。我永远不需要它。”

"I just knew I had to put in extra work to prove to the people, the haters, that I'm Adaejah Hodge."

“我只是知道，我必须付出额外努力，向人们、向那些黑粉证明，我就是阿德贾·霍奇。”

And she was unfazed by the lack of connection with her rivals.

对于缺乏与对手的互动，她毫不在意。

"It's competition. Everybody's goal out here is to win. I don't really know what to say about that," she said.

她说：“这是竞技。大家的目标都是赢。对此我不知该说什么。”

"It's about competing, and if you want to shake my hand, you want to shake my hand. If you don't, you don't. I'm going to be a good sport, I'm going to tell everybody good job because we all put in the hard work to be out here and compete to the highest level."

“关键在于竞争。如果你想跟我握手，那就握。如果不愿意，那就不握。我会做个好榜样，我会祝大家好，因为我们都付出了艰辛努力，才站在这里竞争最高水平。”

As for Lewis's embraces with the rest of the field.

至于刘易斯与其他选手的拥抱。

"This is my first time meeting some of the girls, but they all seem really nice," the Australian said.

这位澳洲选手说：“这是我第一次见到其中一些女孩，但她们看起来都很友善。”

The unwritten code of the track is older than the rulebook. You break the social contract, you don't get the handshake.

田径场上不成文的规矩比规则书还老。你破坏了社会契约，就别想拿到那记握手。

长评

The AIU’s decision to reduce a two-year ban by seven months based on 'substantial assistance' is a classic moral hazard. By rewarding cooperation with leniency, the system incentivizes athletes to hide infractions until caught, then 'assist' to minimize the penalty. It’s not justice; it’s a negotiated settlement that devalues the clean competitor's victory.

AIU 基于“重大协助”将两年禁赛减少七个月，这是典型的道德风险。通过奖励合作来换取宽恕，该制度激励运动员在事发后隐瞒，直到被抓才“协助”以减轻处罚。这不是正义，而是通过谈判达成的和解，贬低了清白选手的胜利价值。

You’re focusing on the bureaucratic mechanics of 'moral hazard' while ignoring the human cost of the 'balance of probabilities' standard. The article notes Hodge gave an 'explanation' that convinced investigators she 'accidentally' ingested the substance. This epistemic violence allows powerful entities to define 'accident' in a way that centers their institutional convenience over the lived reality of athletes like Lewis, who are left to clean up the mess of a system that prioritizes 'rehabilitation' over accountability.

你专注于“道德风险”的官僚机制，却忽视了“概率平衡”标准带来的人道代价。文章指出 Hodge 给出的“解释”让调查人员相信她是“意外”摄入。这种认识论暴力允许权力机构以有利于其机构便利的方式定义“意外”，将体制的便利置于像 Lewis 这样运动员的真实处境之上，后者被迫收拾一个优先考虑“康复”而非问责的烂摊子。

观察者

The article frames the lack of embraces as a mystery to be solved, using Lewis's quote 'fill in the blank yourself' to imply a shared, obvious truth. However, it buries the specific substance 'GW1516' and the 'balance of probabilities' ruling deep in the text, treating the doping context as background rather than the primary driver of the social ostracization. By quoting Hodge's 'I don't really know what to say about that' as 'unfazed', it subtly reframes her isolation as stoic professionalism rather than a consequence of the 'infamous race' mentioned in the lede.

文章将缺乏拥抱描绘成一个待解的谜团，利用 Lewis 的“请自行填空”暗示一个心照不宣的真相。然而，它将具体物质“GW1516”和“概率平衡”裁决埋在文本深处，将兴奋剂背景视为背景而非社会排斥的主要驱动力。通过引用 Hodge 的“我真的不知道该说什么”并将其描述为“不为所动”，文章微妙地将她的孤立重构为坚韧的专业主义，而非导语中提到的“臭名昭著的 races”的后果。
