It’s not clear whether his foot went around the hurdle, but he sure as hell hit the thing, knocking himself off balance. Can’t really argue he gained any sort of advantage.
This is the worst LR post of the championships so far.
It DOESN'T MATTER if you get an "advantage" running around rather than over the hurdles; you still need to go over them!
Same for relay exchanges in the zone, stepping inside the rail, etc.
Rules can be enforced to easy also, for instance in the 2018 400m world indoor championships where the 3rd fastest runner got gold because of a microscopic step on the line. it was an absolute disgrace of a race and i hope world athetics have learned from it

Rules are rules.
Where in my post do I say that Warholm should or should not be DQ’d? I’ll wait….
Rules are rules man. Warholm should have been DQed but world athletics wants him in for ratings. Hope Rai hooks every hurdle in the final since apparently it’s allowed now.
So unfair smh. If Warholm wins i will be requesting a refund on my Rai Benjamin +400 to win from fanduel.
Okay, let us know how that FD protest goes.
I'm opening at 1000-1 that they give you the refund.

Yeah, I don't care if he's DQ'ed, I was mostly curious if he had missed it. My initial thought was that he had and thought it was weird that the UK announcers, who are usually quite good, totally missef it.
Their probably not going to call it for hooking just one hurdle. The Umpire responsible for that hurdle was probably in the wrong position to call it, missed it, or ignored it. Since it was the 2nd hurdle the starters couldn't call it.

It’s well known everyone gets their losing bets refunded after the SuperBowl and NBA Finals by arguing to FanDuel that the refs made a bad call…

Someone earlier in this thread said that there was a protest about it. So the officials would have looked at that hurdle, and yes, they would DQ someone for "hooking just one hurdle."
