August 3, 20214 yr i saw that, is that legal? Not sure about the Olympics but in NCAA:ARTICLE 2� The referee, after consulting with the appropriate officials, shall disqualify a competitor who:a� Advances or trails a leg or foot outside the hurdle width and below the tophorizontal plane or plane extended of the hurdle;b� Does not hurdle each hurdle within the competitor’s lane;c� Deliberately knocks down any hurdle; ord� Deliberately knocks down any hurdle by hand�Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
August 3, 20214 yr In general, it is only a DQ if it impedes the runner in that next lane. A good example is the infamous 1988 Olympic 100m duel between Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis. Johnson ended up getting DQ'd for steroids and Lewis was given the gold. In the race, Lewis took 3+ full steps in Johnson's lane. Technically, illegal but since Johnson was well ahead, he did not imped the runner so it wasn't a DQ.
August 3, 20214 yr Yep and it's a good rule. If you go out of your lane on a straight part of the track without affecting someone else then all you've done is make yourself run a longer distance. Moving into an inside lane on a curve is a different matter.

Legal Running in LanesARTICLE 1� In all races started in lanes, competitors shall keep within their assigned lanes from start to finish, or for the in-lane portion� However, without material advantage gained and no other runner being obstructed, a competitor may run outside his or her assigned lane in the straightaway or outside the outer line of the lane on a curve.

In A above it couldn’t happen unless it was where the hurdles are staggered or you were in a lane that didn’t have a hurdle on each side of you. It’s saying you have to go completely over the hurdle.In C an D it would seem like if you accidentally knocked down or dislocated the hurdle of a competitor there would be repercussions. But maybe not.
August 3, 20214 yr Just saw the 400m hurdle race on YouTube. What a letdown, everyone was making it sound like some epic neck & neck race. It wasn’t even that close, no one had a major comeback, nothing.

August 4, 20214 yr Did that guy die? Thanks Pancho. Edited August 4, 20214 yr by TexasIsBetter German long jump guy got sniped
August 4, 20214 yr damn, a German heptathlete just fucking bit it on his long jump attempt... like completely totally flew in the air and belly flopped on the long jump.... never seen anything like it. Edited August 4, 20214 yr by AUS-97HORN

August 4, 20214 yr Yeah that was weird. Looked like he got shot as he jumped. Dude pulled up on his 1st approach too. Something wasn't right for sure
