This is cruel , if hes disqualified tell him before he celebrates

What if it takes a while? Then nobody can ever celebrate until 15-20 minutes after their competition

Zapletalová  I remember Toth in the race walk, but is this Slovakia's first podium finish INSIDE the stadium?

Actually second after Igor Kováč in 110m Hurdles in Athens 1997

 

But this was yes, the very first ever Female final in a track event for Slovakia and first female  athletics medal except Hammer Throw

Rai Benjamin DQed not both legs over the hurdle.

Actually, no, it was DSQ for damage caused to the Nigerian.

It does look like he did hit the other hurdle so I wouldn't say it was a incorrect dq

Benjamin's DQ has been DQ'ed, he is back at gold.

[Gianlu33 5,276]

Benjamin's disqualification lifted. Drama

Calm down. I'm well controlled.

 

The US is always favored in competitions; it wouldn't be a surprise if they withdraw from this decision.

Yeah when he hit the hurdle he also moved the Nigerian hurdle off-centre so the Nigerian had to check.

Fantastic for O'Connor and Oosterwegel. Dramatic for Thiam, and with that, O'Connor is now easily favoured for a medal.
