I think there should be room for discretion when there isn’t advancement in heats and/or a real title of some kind at stake. Let the fans see the whole field race unless some guy is blatantly doing the thing where they false start to screw with the other guys’ minds. Knowing the rules, though, I’d feel awfully silly if I flew overseas to run a 10-second race and then didn’t get to run it because I false started. Gotta hold those nerves in the blocks!
No
You seem to think that false starts are random acts of god.
They aren't. They're a sprinters lack discipline.
Reacting to the gun is a skill in the sprints. Bromell is a professional sprinter who screwed up. That's on him.
You joggers can start anytime and it won't make a difference.
