hmmm… that doesn’t seem fair :/
Yeah, the more I think about it and after seeing the video… I’m shocked that that’s allowed. And it didn’t look like a stumble at all (some say she stumbled and decided to dive)… it was a full on purposeful dive for the finish!! I’m upset :/
That shouldn’t be allowed.
Cheater!
She needs to be on her feet, not diving. It’s running, not swimming. NOT legal.
That’s what I thought too.
NBC is playing this race right now.
It’s perfectly legal. It’s a risky move since the timing has to be just right, but it’s legal.
it should be whos foot was across the line first, since it is a race, not a leaping or falling across the line race.
Is that legal?
Yep
It should not be legal. Its running, not flinging your body across the finish line.
I thought this was a foot race! How did it evolve into a diving competition? This rule needs to be changed ASAP. Felix was robbed of the gold medal. Seriously, what the heck?!
The gates have opened for ending races on a dive, are you f kidding me. Coaches are going to start training on “dive” finishes. That is for baseball… Diving to still a base. Where do write to clarify and stop this.
Felix got robbed. Where are the officials on this one?
I don’t think a leap of desperation should count as crossing the finish line first. Sorry this happened to you Alyson Felix; you’re the true gold medal winner in my eyes.
Agreed. It’s not baseball.
I agree it’s unfortunate for Felix and I would’ve liked to see her take the gold, but diving across the line is 100% legal.
Chris
That’s not crossing the finish line, that’s falling at the finish.
Everyone was saying the same thing when the USA won the same way, right?
I said the same, diving is a cheap shot and unsportsmanlike.
True!!! When the good U S A does it is all good…..??? but when it’s being done to them they lose their minds!!!
USA has enough golds. Idk why people are being sore losers.
Well that sucks.
Bogus. U lean through the line Not dive
Really stinks. They should change the rules to whoever has their foot over the line. She ran a great race though! Way to go Alyson! Way to represent!
Should be her feet not her hand…
If you know anything about track rules, you know the finish is the first part of your body below the neck, and above the hips(chest) that crosses the line. It was the correct results. David Nevil( USA) earned a silver medal in the same way in China. It doesn’t matter if it was on purpose or she tripped her body was across the line before Allison’s.
Allison is a phenomenal athlete and on that day she earned a Silver medal and we should be very proud of that!!
If we used the foot then the taller athlete would always win
n in close races or if you happened to be on the right foot you would win.
Leaning over the line while running across the finish line is winning. If you don’t cross the line on your feet you did not RUN the whole race. Shame on you Shaunee Miller ?just gave cause for a rule change. Will the IOC stop this from happening again? I hope so?
Time to change the rule.
Not a good way to finish
That’s crap.
It’s not how she start, it’s how her finish
First torso to cross wins. Not hands or feet, torso. That’s why runners lean forward at the end. She leaned, won, then fell. But even if she had clearly dove, it still would have been fair, legal and sportsmanlike. UK racer won the men’s 4,000m gold after he fell down in the middle of the race. He got up, continued and won. You can cartwheel across the finish line if you’re good enough… as long as you stay in your lane and don’t hinder other runners.
I really don’t understand why people are so upset about this. Rules are rules. Competition is competition. She won. Congratulations to her.
Because Trump’s taught them that if they lose, it’s because it was rigged. #TrumpEffect
