Congrats to the Pearl

I think those who decided on this rule overlooked the fact that on rare occasions a runner gets into the set position and is uncomfortable and knows that makes for a poor start...twitches to...involuntarily tries to find that comfortable position - position for 'best start'.

Sometimes the runner can hold up a hand at others there is this 'certainty' that the gun shall go and in the 'old days' you could step out of the blocks for another go round without danger of being disqualified.

Today if you are 'just not right' in the blocks - uncomfortable...you are condemned to a slow start or you'rrrrrrrrrrrrre out! Tough.

...as Kim Collins said those who make the rules need a 'relook'.

Big up to Kim for that Bronze!

[Muadib]

yuh asking di wrong person..

[Don1]

We are all disappointed.
Jangle...just cannot believe his eyes.

As Islandman said in a previous post - This one false start and you are out is one day going to reduce a race to a farce.

Just imagine if under this rule we have 3 false starts in these sprint races?
5 runners only...and 4????

That 3 false start exit actually happened this year at the Randalls Island meet in NYC... farcical fi reel

[Exile]

I saw it.

[Exile]
