OlympicsFan 781 Posted August 19, 2016 #1261 Share Posted August 19, 2016 vor einer Stunde schrieb Gianlu33: Tallent "run" in evey race but it's his race walk. I think that it's legal His feet have been parallel for the last couple of km, thats not legal and he should have been disqualified or at least got a warning (i dont know how many warning he had at that time). Correct result would have been Toth ahead of Arai and Dunfee or Toth ahead of Tallent and Arai. The japanese guy got robbed, lets see how "lucky" Canada will be at 2020 olympics. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletes might be faulty, but the answer seems so out of reach. You're either cleaned or DSQ with no possible cases for a middle ground. It seems specially unhuman when we are talking about such demanding events. I think there should be a case for minor sanctions like in road cycling (time penalty, etc.) True, there should be something like half a minute time penalty. Though I doubt that would matter much for Arai, since that would still put him out of the medals..

dcro 10,179 Posted August 19, 2016 #1268 Share Posted August 19, 2016 This sport really becomes joke in tight finishes. You really expect that people will walk if it is tight #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
