Kendra Harrison just got disqualified from the World Championships and clearly appeared not to know the DQ rule.
She asked "what does that mean" after being shown the DQ flag. Steve Cram (4th fastest over the mile ever, in front of Alan Webb) wisely remarked on this shocking display of lack of knowledge.
Is US coaching not helping athletes to know the rules?
Please explain further....
Why would she need to know that?
one athlete doesn't know about a dq rules issue so it makes sense to blame the whole US collegiate coaching system...yeah that makes perfect sense. Indicative of moronic announcers.

Yeah, I'm all for brevity in communication, but I really have no clue what happened based in the OP's post.
OP's post is akin to saying, "Steve walked to the bus stop, but didn't seem to know the bus schedule. Bob remarked on this shocking display. Is public education to blame?"
I'm not really sure she didn't know the rule. I think she just didn't want to leave.
She knows the rules. The collegiate rules are thes same as the US's. One DQ and you are gone.
Is Cram the one who doesn't know the collegiate rules?
Like any athlete, she's just trying to stay in it. THere was an INCREDIBLY long delay so she was probably hoping. So she just blurts it out hoping they won't DQ her.
Cram is the one not knowing what he's talking about.
Cram just said Nelvis got a good start in the women's final when in fact she got off to a horrible start.
Rojo, if she knew the rules why did she ask "what does that mean" and carry on standing there like a lemon?
Why was she DQ'd?

Someone remind me, who was it at USATFs who talked her way back into the blocks?
Not really surprising from a Kentucky athlete, especially one of Floreal's
