The start list for the final has been up for a while, so I'm not sure about what's the point of this thread.
New W(a)R(holm) on Wednesday though. 45.81.
You heard it here first.
Americans- if they can’t beat you, they’ll try to disqualify you.
When they start losing in the medal count, they come up with new and weird events in the Winter Olympics.
How about just using your energy to get better? You are a SOFT country.

I halfway noticed Warholm's second hurdle while watching the race live, but didn't think too much of it.
However, I do know that if Mekhissi-Benabbad had been competing on the inside of Warholm in this race, he'd have made a mental note to get him DQd before he reached the third hurdle.

like 5 inches on the inside

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.
The virgin "Warholm should DQed because he broke the rules" vs the chad "Warholm shouldn't be DQed because I want to see him race in the final"

Inconclusive though it does look like a pending infraction.

I noticed it immediately and was instantly chagrined for him and for us as fans. Kind of unbelievable that no officials caught it, it is the most common IH violation.

gives a decent photo of the second hurdle

Skip hurdle 2 or suffer for the rest of your life

This just proves that rules are for the little people.

Is it really common? What’s a known DQ for this? I admit that I don’t follow 400mh closely at amateur levels to know.

Watch the Peacock streaming of the event. After the race, the NBC crew talk about Warholm being uncharacteristically sloppy on the first two hurdles. They show an inside camera shot of him clearly missing a hurdle with his lead leg. His lead leg was on the inside and run around the hurdle.

To be fair a lot of them were going under the hurdles.

His foot was .10 to the side of the hurdle. If it was .08 he would be DQd.

It is at the collegiate and prep level. Doesn't get called often enough. I like to sit by the second curve and watch tiring runners "slide one by". Admittedly they often don't realize completely, just like stepping on the line in sprints.

Looking at the video, I think it is possible he also hooked hurdle 7.

Does anyone have a good replay of Warholm's second hurdle in the semis? It looked like he may have missed it.
What do you mean missed it? He clipped it.

Rai Benjamin's team should have their video cameras zoomed in on every one of Warholm's hurdles, particularly on the curves.

Rai leads with the other leg, so it won't happen. For him the issue would be his trail leg coming round the side.
