This event was marked by an ugly controversial incident which saw a new participant from Australia Miss Taliah Daniels being deprived of her 5th podium placing. Below is an excerpt of her article of her plight in her facebook site :

Quote:
TRUTH 1.
I (Taliah Jane Daniels Bib D543) ran the 26km Malakoff Marathon from START to FINISH with an official “CHIP TIME” that was 36 seconds faster than Miss Serina Ong Chin Im, Bib E650.
TRUTH 2:
Due to the fact that I was kind and polite enough to allow Ms Serina Ong Chin Im Bib E650 a 1 minute and 10 second head start on “GUN TIME”, she receives the official 5th place (wearing a category E Bib) in the category D section based on “GUN TIME, not on “CHIP TIME.”
TRUTH 3.
I quote Melody Tan, Race Director Malakoff 26km. “CHIP TIMES are for runners personal interest only.” I was also informed (after the race and I had been handed my 5th place getters card by the official on the day)… “If I wish to be competitive next year, I need to stand closer to the start line.”
TRUTH 4.
“All Official Protests should be made on race day in writing with a deposit.” – Quote Melody Tan, Race Director.
Why was I only just informed of the above statement on the 29th of March instead of on race day???
TRUTH 5.
After my 5th place getters card had been taken from me 2 hours after the race, it was NEVER replaced with an official “Race Finishers” medal - I received nothing, not even an apology!
TRUTH 6.
Furthermore, “apparently” Ms Serina Ong Chin Im (according to Melody Tan) switched her category BEFORE the event from “E” to “D”….. But I can only presume that there was not time enough for the modern technology machine known as a “Printer” to print a correct Bib for her. – Or possibly they ran out of paper?! Or possibly Ms Serina Ong Chin Im changed her mind AFTER the race once she had seen the results? Unfortunately, the truth on this will remain forever a mystery.
MY FINAL TRUTHS ☺
Thankyou to all those people who have encouraged and supported me over the last 48 hours. I really appreciate the comments, text messages, private message and phone calls. At the end of the day, all I ever wish to seek in all matters is the TRUTH. Congratulations to all place getters in all categories and I look forward to meeting again out on the Marathon Race Track in the near future - Happy Running!!!
