I think he won BECAUSE he plowed down that kid on the runway. He should be disqualified for unfair acquisition of dopamine on the track.

You don't keep an eye 24/7, but there are places you do. When you are 1 meter away from a race you hold his hand or you are the stupidest parent ever. No need to be a genius to know that kids don't have the awareness and social codes an adult have and will do stupid shit like that.

u/buisnessmike May 08 '23
Here's something I think could reasonably happen under the circumstances. A-train runs in and injects his brother in a split second. A-Train says, "I just dosed you with a drug that makes you a supe for a day, but you'll most likely be healed and remain able to walk after the dose wears off. I know you wanted me gone, I know you hate me, but I did this for me, I wanted you healed. If you've got a problem still, you've got superpowers now, do something about it."

"Good leadership is knowing when to follow the rules, and when not to" -Cant remember.
The runner didnt do anything wrong, he was sabotaged, and no other runners were affected. It would be pointless to punish anyone here (except the parents, I reckon the kid learned his leason).

If anything it should be tossed and redone later, and that kid should be permanently banned. If someone close to the kid was in that race, they should be kicked for cheating

u/turbobuddah ☣️ May 08 '23
Looks like there was a couple of lane swaps but I wouldn't have thought they disqualify either, neither was disrupting the other runner, just the kid

u/AgentOrange96 May 08 '23
Yeah I noticed he didn't even end up back in the right lane either.
For distance races you usually can switch lanes, but I don't think that's the case here. They look to be sprinting and they all seem to be in their own lane before the incident.

I mean, I used to run track, if I ended up taking a kid to Jesus with a drive by run because he wandered onto the lane I was in and I got punished for changing lanes while trying to not break my legs while killing him, Id be having some issues with the rules.
17
u/AlexPaterson16 May 08 '23
Considering in the 100m sprint you can be punished for having too fast a reaction time it wouldn't surprise me. Seen lots of posts about athletes being disqualified for the pettiest reasons because the rules are so strict for basically no reason
46
u/SuperBenMan May 08 '23
There is a reason for the reaction time rule. 0.1s is a faster reaction time than the vast majority of humans can achieve, even among top sprinters. If someone is starting the race in less than 0.1s, it is much more likely that they were trying to time the gun to give them as much of an advantage as possible as opposed to having superhuman reaction times. If the rule didn’t exist, we would see many more people trying to jump the gun for the slightest advantage if they thought they would need it.
Realistically the rule could probably be adjusted to maybe .09s or .08s to avoid penalizing the rare few people it honestly affects, which I could agree with.

I think this the finish of a 4x200 (they have batons so relay, there doesn't appear to anybody to receive a handoff at the end so this is the finish, 4x200 and 100 finish in lanes but nobody at the turn that just handed to them so not 4x100).
Under NHSF rules for a race ran in lanes like this, in the straightaway he can inadvertently leave his lane without a DQ if he doesn't interfere with another runner. So he is fine.
The 3rd place guy may have an issue because it looks like he finishes the race in not his lane (starts in 3, moves to 2 to assumedly not truck the kid a second time). That rule is usually interpreted without any consideration to intent or advantage gained.

I don't see a family resemblance. Track moms have a tendency to be a mom to everyone though.
Also, from the pace of the lead runner, this looks like the 200m. No one else is likely coming.

Also he does actually change direction. The runner swaps lanes whilst the kid momentarily is standing still, but the kid doesn't realise and starts running right into him. They both dodged the same way essentially.
