Should Colleen Quigley have been disqualified for this ?

Was it intentional?

I don’t think it was malicious and just unintentional reflex response.

thecrashingtonathletic is over reacting

It can be a reflex response and intentional. Narcissistic people have a bad habit of only thinking about themselves and after a lifetime of doing so, their natural instinct is to do whatever it takes to win, whether directly or from muscle memory.

He's a still photographer, he doesn't have a video. I watched the video back on USATF.tv and they don't have the angle either. No reason for her elbow to be up there so I'm sure it happened. Karissa didn't look happy and gave her a limp high five but gave Shelby a HUGE hug.

I see. Better Karisa learns to fend for herself now rather than at the Trials. I've never been a huge Quigley fan, but this comes off as petty on her part, even if it is somehow legal.

It’s not like they will be racing again

Karisa is still learning how to race as a pro. The lesson applies generally.

Schweizer is not completely innocent here. She is passing with, what, 2-3 inches between and that is with a twist of her body to get by? She isn't clear of CG's arm swing. It's not like Quigley had to go out of her way to throw an elbow and a hand into Karisa's path, SHE WAS RIGHT THERE!

The lesson is, make your pass definitive, clear, and don't leave any doubt as to your intentions.

whether it's DQable or not, it's a bad look for Quigley. And this after she showboated in beating Houlihan at US indoors last year. What a teammate.

DQ for CQ!

intentional, unintentional, reflex, malicious, whatever...it's still a DQ

my take as well

Looks like she should be dq'd for impeding the progress of another runner. Best thing to do is pass wide in cases like this, not on the inside. If you're going to pass on the inside, you better be sure there is room.

That's nothing. If Schweizer doesn't like contact she shouldn't try to occupy the same lane as Quigley. She's in for a rude awakening as a pro when she encounters real pushing and shoving in Diamond League races.

If you look at the photos of the progression on the home straight Karissa is a) moving out to lane 2-3 because of quigley moving out and b)there is photo proof that karissa was AHEAD of colleen until she was pushed back by colleens arm.

She showboats first beating shelby, says she hates nike mamba spikes on instagram & then does this. Shitty teammate.

I think the angle makes it look worse than it is, and the final arm throw was just her dip at the line. You have to throw your arms backwards to dip your torso effectively.

It doesnt look like she drifted wide to block either

Not a DQ. Toughen up cupcake.

Donald, AKA Crash, is the classic LRC hobby jogger snowflaking over things like some bows being thrown. FOUR years for some elbows that didn't even result in a DQ is laughable. Snowflakes cry when someone throws up their arms after winning a national title but don't understand why track and field isn't popular. I do agree CQ shouldn't have taken someone else's spot in Doha but that's on USATF. Merritt did the same thing and I believe it was the Olympic Games. How do other federations handle injuries and meet declarations?
