Ross Edgar Relegated Cycling Sprint Delhi 2010

new sprint rule - Elbows allowed !!!!!- Ross Edgar was relagated after being elbowed, making him lose his balance & ending up briefly below the red line as a result - What next? ... a punch? a shove? it's all OK as long as you don't cross the red line!!

Njisane Phillip was not at fault in my opinion. Edgar came down into his lane and his shoulder hit Njisane's elbow from behind, then Edgar loses his balance and leans onto Phillip, forcing him below the sprinter's lane.

@consciousyute11- I don't see how you can say that, when njisane is going up - ross was never below the red line until AFTER he lost his balance with the elbow in his face.

totally disagree phillip clearly moves up in the bend & puts his elbow out - he was not sprinting with his elbows that far out - the elbow hits ross well before he goes down - & he goes down because having been pushed with the elbow he looses his balance & tries to stay upright.

um..if anyone didnt notice phillip was sprinting with his elbows like that the entire race and he held his line.The only way his elbow couldve ended up there is if Edgar came into his line.......just my opinion!!!!!!!
