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

WA doesn't have the balls to disqualify him.
Best I could find... just before the 5:00 minute mark.
Perhaps he went over it so fast you missed it?
What you talking about, Willis?
It’s not clear whether his foot went around the hurdle, but he sure as hell hit the thing, knocking himself off balance. Can’t really argue he gained any sort of advantage.
It looks like he was running too far inside, got jammed at the hurdle and hooked the lead foot around the hurdle.
If you pause the video at 4:58 of the close up replay from the reverse angle its easier to see.
This is a blatant DQ
Let's see if WA stick to their guns or allow a poster boy to run in the final
Foot was clearly not as high as the hurdle
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.
He should be DQ. Someone way above our pay grades needs to take these videos and footage way above and get him DQ.
Agreed I’m fairly confident he will be DQed he gained a clear advantage
that's not how it works.
you going to look at the twitter video below and retract your misleading photo?
Nope :)
The Italians tried to protest, but they waited too long and the window expired. Nothing's gonna happen.
It's hilariously petty to try and force an athlete who's gone sub 48 once in his career, by the tiniest of margins, into a world championship final. He would look as out of place on Wednesday as he did when in the Olympic final in Tokyo.
As the live commentator put it: "Sibilio has been left behind, as if he's almost... in another race".
Now everyone gets the showdown they've been waiting for: Warholm vs. dos Santos vs. Benjamin.
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.
Yes, it's a shame world athletics ruined your glassbowl prediction that Warholm was going to get a DQ in the semis
Hate to break it to you, but if you bet on Benjamin to win the 400mH you deserve to lose money. He couldn't even win it last year when Warholm was injured, so what makes you think he can win now when Warholm is healthy? Aside from Warholm being disqualified, of course.
