Does anyone even have to protest? Remember when the officials DQ'ed Colleen Quigley a few years ago for putting one toe on the line coming out of the water jump? This was MUCH MUCH more egregious!
And when Devon Allen got DQ'd for being .01 under the allowed reaction time in the Oly trials 110H.
Not sure what Devon Allen's DQ has to do with someone cutting in early. In any case, Devon Allen did NOT start early. The timing system wasn't working properly.
She fell in the semis at the '08 olympics, which was her best chance for an outdoor medal. Competed a lot against Lolo. Was actually still competing in 2017 after having children and made the finals in Euro indoors. She and twin sister also set the shuttle hurdle WR back in the day.
