Confused by your objection. Fabris 5th round throw was just beyond Crousers best to that point. He fell out. Foul. Coming in Fabri hadnt even come close to 22m in his career. That was a 23m foul. Would have been a massive PR and a CR. He fouled. So almost.
No, NOT ALMOST.
The whole point in throws is that you need to throw your furthest without flinging yourself out of the ring or over the line.
It's just like in LJ. You can't just sprint down the runway, jump from wherever you want to a great distance, and say "oh I almost PRed if I didn't foul."
LOLOLOL something tells me you have never thrown seriously.
So, he almost saved it, but couldn't , and that's not almost. ?
Gonna burst your bubble too. I am a US National discus medalist. Never did much in shot beyond high school, but Im certain I know what I'm watching. If you understand throws you would get what my username means.
Hassan is claiming on BBC TV just now that she was pushed and that that was the reason she fell. Michael Johnson who comments for the BBC said that there was contact between Tsegay and Hassan which made Hassan fall.
We need a Zapruder film analysis please. Rojo, Jonathan, can we get a frame by frame break down of what transpired? My cursory analysis is that Hassan drifted in a desperate attempt to hold off Tsegay. It was going to fail and she was sent to get 2nd and then she just tripped over nothing and fell, or maybe trivial and incidental contact. Not that unusual an occurrence, but not common in this setting. If Hassan is claiming a push, that’s disappointing.
Ur going to need better footage (overhead and frontal views) instead of just those side views.
That was Hassan’s fault. She was moving out to her right to keep Tsegay from passing her, then I think just panicked when she knew Tsegay was going to win.
Further to that… Hassan also looked over her left shoulder about 50 meters from the finish, just before she fell. Clearly she moved into the second lane on purpose to keep Tsegay from passing, because she knew she had left lane one open and was checking if anyone was coming up on her from the left. She was so worried about being passed, she lost concentration, panicked, then fell.
