Wow, Thompson looked like he was slowing down at the end and still managed under 10s? These athletes are all insane!

So we're only seeing this race here bc a GB athlete was DQ

[zennihilator]

This is all comes down to whether he was moving before or after the gun sounded to start the race. If he started to rise into a sprinting position before the gun sounded, i can see why this would be considered illegal. I believe you're not suppose to move from your starting position until you actually hear the gun... Because even rising up into a sprinting position 0.5 seconds before everyone due to anticipation can be a huge difference in these types of races.

A straight DQ for a marginal mistake like this is indeed harsh, but if you aren't harsh on these sort of things, then every athlete will use their one 'freebie' to try and cheese a good start by anticipating the gun and this means every race will last 10-15 minutes longer and it will be more about cheesing the start than actually sprinting...

I never understood why they don't just give a time penalty for a false start rather than an instant disqualification. I understand that a standard yellow card might cause too many athletes to guess the starting time, but if you give like a 0.1s time penalty (which for the 100m is a lot), then nobody would try yet the athlete in question still gets a reasonable chance to quality if he/she is good enough

For different distances, different time penalties of course

[Philsmoothy]

A good start is also part of the race, and that can be learned...my little one.

[greendwarff]

This Eurosport sucks, only GB and USA athlets, you need to change name.

[wendklenff]

DQ after one failed start...absolutely ridicoulous to anyone.

[steveshuffle]

it's so harsh - they can get a yellow card instead of DQ !

[reyorbci]

wow... not a track&field guy here, however i slowed playback speed down to 0.25 and i still couldn't see clearly how Azu started b4 the shot... i could see him move before anyone else, however not differentiate shot before/after he moved... I'm baffled

It heartbreak indeed, Go Ghana 🫶🏾🇬🇭😍👏🏾

[mariadaluzmoutinho]

Tenho acompanhado os jogos olímpicos e vi esse episódio de quebrar o coração do atleta ...mas estas legendas a passar para cima são de lamentar nos vídeos!!

[preciousashimole]

Why not warn him after all the preparations

[zsht]

If it's after the gun, it shouldn't be a DQ.
Bonkers rule.

[souldennis]

In my opinion, Thompson was moved without raising his legs from the starting blocks.

[denialz]

why are they always slow down at the end?

[brucenicole]

Sad when this happens to any athlete. Train so hard for this moment and they're under enormous pressure then make one mistake and it's all over.

[xXAlmdudlerXx]

One false start is enough to be dq? That’s dumb.

[secpozz]

That is so unfair. Prepare for the biggest event for 4 years and get DQ’ed for moving less than a second earlier.

[philnelson]

There IS no false start. Its not fair, this system IS obsolet
