Is there some mathematical proof you can't start within .10? This is ridiculous?
It didn't look like he false started.
LRC note: We have closed this thread to new posts and have started a new thread on the matter where everyone talks about the Eugene reaction times moving forward.This sport is a laughingstock
Total bull##t.
This is why people hate the A#dholes in charge.
This is why I have grown to hate this sport.
Take something that should be simple and beautiful, like running, and find a way to just utterly ruin it.
For every magic moment, you can find a moment like this.
What a f***ing joke. How is anyone supposed to enjoy this sport when morons at the top ruin it.
Looked like a false start to me.
I could not have been a more avid fan in the past but this type of thing totally ruins it for me.
Where is the entertainment?
In the days of slow motion video, we can't go the video to show there was no advantage? Absolutely moronic.
This just set the sport back 20 years
.091 rounds up in results but .099 doesn’t in reaction time.
because obviously the fastest human reaction time is perfectly one tenth of a second
Unreal. We just want to see the best against the best. Is it that difficult?
The sound waves from the gun are always exactly .1s away from every single lane at every single stadium...suuuuuure. what an idiotic arbitrary rule.

Just have to hope the .the other dozen or so events deliver.
One race no big deal/
I think they should have been called up because Holloway took way too long to get into set position. Holloway should have received a warning.
what's the margin of error on these sensors, anyway? Probably more than 1/1000 of a second.
What do you suggest they do?
just curious.

Will be fogotten by 4x1 time.
He got punished for being too good
As pointed out in another thread Devon's reaction in the semis was .101 so it could easily be feasible in the final he presses a little harder and has a reaction time of .0999.
We all know those blocks aren't perfect. I mean how many times did they have to restart races at trials bc of them. Sad day.
