US should protest - Let's re-run the 1,500

Give an example where a race at USA's was ever re-run.

In that case we should petition for a re-run of the men's 1972 1500m semifinal in which Jim Ryun was tripped.

I thought she liked to make people hurt

Bannen a este troll

I wonder if he's still in 3:24 shape.

Review would show no foul. Uceny clearly kicked the Ethiopian, who was well to the side and behind, and then tripped on her own foot. BBC had perfect slow motion coverage of the fall. Uceny is lucky she didn't cause others to fall, because if she had gotten up and medalled, she would have gotten DQ'd and lost it.

How did Morgan 'kick' the Ethiopian if the Ethiopian was well to the side of her? Did Morgan throw a roundhouse or a flying sidekick?

some of you people are rediculous. (yes, I know I misspelled it).

Are you only just seeing now that Rojo and his bro are the biggest trolls (and idiots) on Letsrun?

I'm embarrassed for the sport that these clowns continue to offer sensationalized news, random and ignorant opinions, and generally turn a potentially useful site into a garbage bin of trollery.

A snowball's chance in hell.

What foul? Uceny clipped the Russian girl's trailing spike with her knee and her knee buckled.

If the Russian had fallen, then there might have been a foul on Uceny.

I feel bad for Uceny, but no one in hell should they re-run that race. While you're at it, why don't you just give everyone a medal for finishing.

Yeah c'mon, how can you kick someone that is "well to the side and behind" in a race? The Kenyan chick stepped on Morgan's heels and she went down, pretty simple.

This, big time. I'm embarrassed to have ever come here. This site has just become a place for the Brojos to take a dump on track and field.

Any competing athlete who jostles or obstructs another athlete, so as

to impede his progress, shall be liable to disqualification from that

event. The Referee shall have the authority to order the race to be reheld excluding any disqualified athlete or, in the case of a preliminary

round, to permit any athlete(s) seriously affected by jostling or

obstruction (other than any disqualified athlete), to compete in a

subsequent round of the event. Normally, such an athlete should have

completed the event with bona fide effort.

*****

Regardless of whether there has been a disqualification, the Referee,

in exceptional circumstances, shall also have the authority to order the

race to be re-held if he considers it just and reasonable to do so.

From the IAAF rule book

Uceny's fault, no doubt.

rojo just wants a re-run because uceny is from cornell

Just like the 2000 Sydney Olympics women's 1500m. Should have been re-run.

I am surprised this doesn't happen more to nick symmnds ... The come from behind racing style puts you at a terrible risk for this... You never see the best do this, Rupp laget and mo never come from behind

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this. I do appreciate what they do but focus on reporting the facts, not biased opinions that make us all look like arrogant idiots.
