How tf did Green get through on protest and not Hurta????

I'm shocked that was a really egregious move by green 100% her fault and completely took away hurta's chances when she was looking really good to potentially make it through

Hurta would have had to finish the race to successfully protest.

100%

that fall looked nasty. did she really break her arm? the neck whiplash in the slowmo looked brutal.

cause she's not a nike athlete

Broke her wrist

reinstate her? how the heck would she run in the final with a broken wrist?

She ate Mondo.

Haha, apparently Mehra entered a protest too saying she was impeded by the fall and it got rejected. She wasn’t even close.

Nice way to waste the 100$ fee

I did not see the race that way. Green was in front of Hurta and moved to lane 1.

Agree. Sage in lane one. Green cuts into late one through her leg. Impedes herself and takes out Sage. And gets into the final? Not fair play.

Green caused Hurta to fall no doubt ! She should apologise at the very least.

Hurta is going to Tokyo with her boyfriend though and that cast :(

I did not see it that way at all. I thought green had space and Hurta was trying to swing wide, cut out just a split second too early, clipped Green and went down hard.

I don’t see any reason why Hurtas protest would have had legs (even if she finished).

I don’t think green was getting through but she was definitely impeded.

My college coach would always say the easiest way to make it into the finals at Olympic Trials was to get tripped - but you have to finish. Hurta needed to just get up and shuffle across the line and she’d be in the final.

She tripp-a and fell-a and got hurta.

Green was in front on the right side of the 1st track and Hurta behind her on the left side of the 1st track. Hurta then got too close and her driving right knee bumped into Green's trailing left foot.

Now I'm not sure if Green started fading or Hurta accelerating, or maybe both. The problem was Hurta's positioning: when you're behind someone, you don't wanna stay on the rail coming into the finish straight, that was a tactical blunder.

Therefore I agree, that she impeded Green.

Here you can clearly see what happened:
