Correction: Women's Heptathlon
More evidence that I can't read a frigging chart. Nancy Johnson writes to point out a mistake I made in the results for the women's heptathlon (reported here). I had reported the last-place finisher as Shen Shengfei of China with 4949 points, and, yet, on the same damn page, there was a listing for Yuki Nakata of Japan with 4871 points. Sorry again, everyone.
(I should apply to be a gymnastics judge.)
Anyway, as a result of this, one point is subtracted from China's total and Japan finally enters the standings. Which means that China falls tofifth fourth place, and should not have been in the lead for some time. (And with all the newspapers reporting China in the lead -- ouch!) Greece is now the undisputed leader in the standings.
I'll update the table when I write up today's results, and that should be within the next few hours.
