Because I kind of think that... I sort of lost it in translation. Let's go king of Poland, capture the East. I think that it's a sort of incitement for Sighel rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,760 Posted February 13, 2022 #422 Share Posted February 13, 2022 One thing I noticed today. Although we very often see 4-person heats, semis, & even B Finals ending with 2 Pens & 2 Finishers, has that ever happened in an Olympic final? Even in the Bradbury fInal, the others got up & finished. Or does the judges’ relentless Batman-like pursuit of Absolute Justice fall short of making the sport look stupid?

It happened in 2018 in the women's relay. Funny enough, bronze medalist Netherlands set a world record in the B Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNFs are very rare in short track. or there might be some kind of protest by a team (which was then rejected)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted February 13, 2022 #425 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yeah, I imagine "what to do with a DNF" must be in the rule book so the confusion wouldn't have taken that long. A protest was more likely. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
