Why would they get advanced..? It's not shorttrack is 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!

The athlete in 2nd position runs the bigger distance (it's not all exactly 100m of course), which is why Schippers always runs in 2nd position. It's the most logical place for her, even the bug knows that 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!

The replays I saw indicated contact, but didn't show the Brazilian out of her lane. But the replay wasn't that great. Since it's the Americans, I'm going to bet that they get into the finals, though. Not being anti-American, just saying that certain countries always get the 'benefit of the doubt'. It's why Russian athletes are in Rio, while most other countries would not be if they did the same thing (and why Sun is allowed to keep swimming).

orangeman 1,323 Posted August 18, 2016 #1020 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Okay, better replay. Brazilian did not step out of her lane, it was the upper bodies that collided. I'm not sure what the rule is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
