Grassmarket 2,754 Posted July 31, 2021 #192 Share Posted July 31, 2021 La Villenie not looking happy. 4 minutes ago, hckošice said: That successful appeal of in the mixed relay is still something I can hardly understand Okay let say it was an error of the official who did not bother to explain to the US athlete where they have to stand...well, I remember a couple of moments with officials mistakes but never worked in those cases. But as I said, the officials made exactly the same mistake in the second heat and were only rescued because the runners themselves knew something was wrong and mutinied. I don't think World Athletics could defend their decision in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely that heat shouldn't count That might have been a more agreeable solution to this situation. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Yeah, but the two cases were not the same - the same officials made two different mistakes. Or actually, the same mistake twice, (the line ups) and then another mistake (ranking the athletes at the 200m point). So there's no reason why the USA had to race the Dominicans again.
