The DQs and rule book are a joke. SOmeone said it yesterday. Imagine if this happened in any other sport. Huge officiating calls are made after the fact with no replay shown.
There needs to be a rule. The decision must be made within 30 seconds of the race finishing. If you want to film it from above, that's fine. But a yellow flag/card needs to come up so people can look at a replay.
It would be like eliminating a touchdown in the super bowl without any warning or replay.
the Jamaican one was obvious and known to any HS relay runner. When the official puts you in an order, dont switch it!! Not only did the official step out on the track to try and stop it, but the Ukranian runner attempted to keep her spot as well. No sympathy for the Jamaicans on this one.
