Seems like a baton handoff outside the zone.

And Bromell stepped on the line. I think there are 2 reasons they were DQ'd, which is incredible

 

[Dr.Acula]

lol u salty bro?

You're not salty when you're celebrating, get your slang correct.

 

[Ether_Snake]

This is track and field. The rules are super strict. One false start now equals DQ. In other events, even having a slight cm over the line in long jump makes your world record jump not count, your discus throw if you accidentally even brush the top with your foot etc.

Yeah well they didn't get disqualified on the line stepping afterall, which from the photo happended at the very very end.

Canada with Bronze!

 

[IceBringer]

Poor Tyson. Thought he finally had his medal. Stupid late pass

 

[Madness]

They are saying USA go dqed because the Exchange of the baton , don't know when

Yeah, they didn't get the baton in the allowed zone in time and were outside. So it wasn't the lane violation.

 

[Pedrito]

Man why wait so late to dq. Fuck this is bumming me out.

The same exact thing happened at last year World Championships. It takes a few minutes to check all the exchanges and there's always at least one or two DQ on the men side.

Basically, don't celebrate too hard until the official results are posted.

 

[Zackat]

I need a cutout of that Tyson Gay face lol

 

[LiK]

The funny thing was they said Gatlin has never messed up the exchange. Commentator curse strikes again.

 

[rando14]

Hahaha this is great. Suck a bag of dicks USA

Which country has the most medals, chump?

 

[Dr.Acula]

And Bromell stepped on the line. I think there are 2 reasons they were DQ'd, which is incredible

Lane violations are not enforced on straightaways when runners don't interfere according to other posters. I remember when Canada was DQ'd in London is was on a bend.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

O shit this British diver is gay?

Bet teen girls in England were crushed when they found out

 

[ActStriker]

e. nvm

 

[espher]

What other picture? The other one in this thread? In that one the Japanese's foot is still in the air, it's impossible to say exactly where it'll land.

CBC had a replay on the final leg of two touches on the line. I didn't get a pic, unfortunately.

 

[Dr.Acula]

See, this is an example of "being salty."

 

[wachie]

why are people posting stuff like feeling bad for gay but fuck gatlin? both are dopers. unless there's some other reason to dislike gatlin, but he seems okay in interviews.

blake and powell were also busted.

fuck them all - USA team if they are dopers

 

[Blader]

Bromell stepping on the line in the straightaway doesn't matter as long as he's not blocking someone.

 

[LiK]

Or they were more aroused.

 

[gutter_trash]

why is NBC making a swimming story now?
swimming was so last week

 

[Kifimbo]

Seems pretty clear here.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[cube444]

Would love to see the time splits on that anchor leg. De Grasse really poured it on.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Gay could've shave off .5 sec without all that bling.

 

[Rainy]

Would think the opposite!

 

[Chumly]

I'm curious why anyone is cheering the Jamaican team then. Half the Jamaican team are fucking dopers and people are celebrating their win and shitting all over gatlin. Seems to be a pretty pathetic double standard.

 

[Pedrito]

It's more that on the bend, you end up running a shorter distance (by a few centimeters..) if you step out of your lane.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Seems pretty clear here.

Half the teams look like they're handing off past the yellow line though.

Wait who doped on the Jamaican team besides Powell?

 

[LiK]

Steele Johnson is a great name

Cause Bolt. Fuck the USA team for doping brah.

 

[Mimosa97]

I don't like cheaters but Gay's new style looks dope as fuck

 

[Syntsui]

Trinidad Tobago also DQed. Brazil got 6th!!!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Steele Johnson?

 

[ActStriker]

Between the yellows is where you're supposed to pass.

 

[Gorillaz]

Im dying

tyson gay look like he about to catch a case

 

[Chumly]

Blake as well

 

[Faddy]

Would think the opposite!

Hey Oh!

 

[Tallshortman]

Wait who doped on the Jamaican team besides Powell?

Blake

Literally all top 10 100m holders besides bolt have been caught at one point.

 

[Ourobolus]

You're looking at the wrong line. They look like that because it's the first yellow line. They have to handoff inbetween the two.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

"Steele Johnson is hanging with the big boys..."

This NBC commentator's not even trying

 

[elty]

Ahh, so the Japanese-Jamaican dude is not a mere import.

Interesting fact about Aska Cambridge – Japan’s relay anchor. His father is Jamaican, and his mother Japanese. Cambridge was born in Jamaica and lived there until he was two.

 

[giga]

Blake

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Caught up on the Taekwondo medal ceremony. Ivory Coast's anthem is straight from an old school Disney movie.

 

[cube444]

Blake as well

Nesta Carter too, hence him not at the Games.

 

[IceBringer]

His beard is glorious.

And holy shit this guys name is Steele Johnson

 

[AndyVirus]

Maybe because Gatlin tested positive twice, which should result in lifetime ban.

 

[Heisenberg]

Are they still talking of yanking one of Bolt's gold medals because of the doping of his teammate on the retest this year?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Rules and all, but I think the line rule is bullshit.

If its at a corner, and an athlete is cutting because of it, sure, insta DQ. But at a straight and no obstruction, where there is zero benefit... I think its harsh.

 

[Rainy]

Blake as well

Blake

Oh I didn't know that hm.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Between the yellows is where you're supposed to pass.

Ahhh, okay, they're early then. Confused because the screenshot shows both Americans between the hashes. So the violation occurred before then.

Well good thing that's not a rule then. The DQ was on the handoff, and Japan stepped on the line and won silver.
