* On 16 August 2016, the Russian women's 4 × 100 metres relay team was disqualified for doping. The Russian team members were stripped of their gold Olympic medals, as Yuliya Chermoshanskaya had her samples reanalyzed and tested positive for two prohibited substances.[6]
The IOC requested that the IAAF modify the results, and the medals were redistributed accordingly.[7][8]
