Do you really think the nation's status never plays part? How do you explain the 4x400 m mixed relay fiasco then?

You are very naive. Gabla with a slower reaction time than Prescod and he's also DQ. What more do you need to know about national flag privilege?

How do you explain the 4x400 m mixed relay fiasco then? I do think it unfortunately plays a part, but I'd really like an actual expert's opinion first, because there are plenty of examples where the rules are not exactly A or B when looking in the actual rulebook. I'm not saying what happened is fair, I'm just saying that there are people who know these things a whole lot better than us, and I'd like to hear what they say about it. 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!

pdr4332 188 Posted July 31, 2021 #325 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The question still stands but now with no real stake as 3 candidates for small q are now Brommel, Vicaut of and Tortu of . So Prescod is out with 1 heat to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the hamstring injury was more serious though this is far cry from Liu Xiang's Beijing shocking pull out It shows GB Athletics are scared of the funding collapse that is coming.

pdr4332 188 Posted July 31, 2021 #328 Share Posted July 31, 2021 technical delegate's answer: he is not exactly sure what happened, but the start machine also logs the exact forces and pressures from which they can guess which kind of movement happened (this is sth I did not understand fully) heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted July 31, 2021 #329 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Or how about that time when NZ runner stopped to help an American and they both got awarded free passes for the final. When Guinea-Bissau/Aruba did the same at the 2019 Worlds, Aruban guy got DQ'd. Monzanator 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have to say DAS & KJT are the only two athletes than can be sold as stars. You have the relays too but it's the depth strenght rather than having a clear run away stand out (like even Ohurougu was). Tiffany Porter just isn't quite there on the global scale IMO.
