I don't like the rule either, but it's about fairness. But whatever, they get bronze apparently anyway. Until the USA appeals and they say they can re-run the race and get the gold. Canada in 2012 was DQed due to stepping on the line on a bend. It's different than stepping on a straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,611 Posted August 20, 2016 #1362 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Wow, if it was really that step on the line from Bromell, that DQ is pure bullshit.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

juddy96 171 Posted August 20, 2016 #1364 Share Posted August 20, 2016 USA has been disqualified for Mike Rodgers passing the baton to Justin Gatlin before the exchange zone, not for Bromell stepping on the line heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different than stepping on a straight. Agree. But it's the rule, apparently. I remember reading about it a lot in 2012. Any lane violation is an automatic DQ. It's fine, though, I would be fine if Japan doesn't get DQed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,364 Posted August 20, 2016 #1368 Share Posted August 20, 2016 And the plot thickens... steve simmons @simmonssteve 35m35 minutes ago Rio de Janeiro, Brazil US sprinter Mike Rogers just told me US is protesting the DQ. Stay tuned the night is young. Would be so cruel to Canada if its overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,242 Posted August 20, 2016 #1369 Share Posted August 20, 2016 What are they protesting? Are they arguing that the pass wasn't fully completed until the athlete entered the passing zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikolaB 397 Posted August 20, 2016 #1370 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) You can do what you want if you are from USA. That country is cancer of modern world Edited August 20, 2016 by NikolaB opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
