Sha'Carri Richardson Yellow "L" next to name on results - did she step on line?

I guess they changed the rules and you have to step twice to be dq

lol you guys really hate sha carri

Sha'Carri is one of the best things in the sport right now.

We're seeing something we've never seen before and trying to figure out what it means.

IF she stepped twice she should be DQ, Anavia Battle team should do something about it.

It looks like one step to me so this all makes sense. Make note of it but don't DQ her.

Why make note if it not a DQ? Why is it brought up if it is legal?

scr can't do it again in the finals. One step or two.

Sha'Carri definitely stepped on the line once.

There's no doubt about that.

Did she step a second time?

In the step right after that it doesn't look so.... but could be, we need another angle.

When the clock is around 5.3 - 5.4 on NBC footage there could be another step on the line, but it's hard to see.

So they give Richardson a warning but DQ Eric Holt??????????

Stepping on the line in a 200 is a way bigger deal than in an 800

Eric Holt stepped twice - thats what they say

Sha'Carri only once - thats what they say

Personally, I think it's an excellent professional courtesy by the officials to any athlete running in a qualifying round.

The officials are basically all superfans and definitely don't want to see any athletes being DQd. This is great feedback in terms of something to be conscious of for the athlete, whereas if nothing was said I think the odds of it becoming an infraction in the next race are slightly higher.

If you watch her 200m 1st round you will she she does not take the racing line and runs about 3m extra in a zig-zag motion.

Take that as a positive as it means she can lower her time if she runs in a the racing line.

What is it about Sha'Carri that you have not seen before?

Long Nails, pot smoking, fast running, intricate outfits? All been done before.

Read the link in post #5. It is no longer illegal to step on the line ONCE. A second step on the line, whether it is in the same race or not, will result in a DQ. The Yellow "L" indicates she received a Yellow Card Warning for stepping on the line (annotated in the results). If she steps on it again in the 200m final, a DQ will result.

"but shall result in disqualification if they are repeated by the same athlete or within the same relay team at any time during the rounds of the same event."

The new Sha'Carri is great for the sport, the old Sha'Carri wasnt great for herself or the sport. She has matured and is saying and doing what needs to be done to promote her brand, the sport and everything else, give her credit, not all peeps mature.

How’s it feel always being the victim?

Why would you need a poster to let you know what the rule is? You're supposed to be letting your audience know what the rules are and not the other way around.

thank you for pointing this out

how long has this been a rule? haven't given it much thought, but seems a little strange.

if it's giving someone a material advantage, why would they be allowed to do it once at all? if it's not giving someone a material advantage, why would they be DQd the second time it happened?
