Three days later, on Tuesday, July 20, 2010, following a protest of her DQ by Swimming Australia, FINA overturned Gorman's DQ, reinstating her result which placed her in third. This moved China's FANG Yanqiao (and the rest of the finishers below them) down one place; Fang moving from third to fourth. France's Aurélie Muller's similar DQ for unsportsmanlike conduct was also reviewed; however, her disqualification was not overturned.FINA Press Release 2010-41 - Women’s 10km race – 6th FINA World Open Water Swimming Championships https://web.archive.org/web/20110613034125/http://www.fina.org/H2O/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1521 2011-06-13 published by FINA on 2010-07-20; retrieved 2010-07-21.
