Usain Bolt false start at Daegu 2011 - 100M final

[icefiredragonful]

When other athletes false start, you guys don't complain. Only when Usain Bolt false start you people start complaining that the rules are too strict. That is because Usian Bolt is the best and you don't like him to be disqualified. These are the rules. He should run only when the gun is shot... How can rules be rules if they are changed when the best athletes make mistakes???

Surely one warning is required. If not, it will be difficult to see world records being erased in short sprints.

ESPN Columnist Jeff MacGregor wrote something I totally agree with

"Because whatever or however you think of track or sports, Usain Bolt is an artist. A once-in-a-generation anomaly. A genius. And as is always the case with bureaucracy, what it does best is kill creativity. Individuality. This it does by solving problems no one has, and by creating problems where none existed."

After invisible Micheal Johnson in the 200 & 400m, it is once in a lifetime we get this opportunity. Y mess it up?

He try do a record and run short into signal.. but he don't unpuzzle that signal !!! ;?///// That's was so .....

this new rule just needs a change to what it was before (a warning first), the prove of it was today.

I cant believe it... False start for bolt... OMG...

[qwaykee]

This is just silly. The rules are way too strict !

@qwaykee There is nothing wrong with the false start rule. This is fundamentals in track and field. Only react when you hear the gun. Usain the man but I believe rules are rules and listen for the gun sound is fundamental when you running track.
